What?!?

Git forces you to check out a copy in order to be fully functional. Are you saying they're working without version control? Why?

Going by the rest of this thread, I wouldn't rule out the possibility that they are doing something insane like committing multi-gigabyte objects regularly, and then only checking out with a low clone depth.

I've seen people attempt that before; without fail people who are deeply in centralized version control land and do not bother to understand git before attempting to switch to it (because it is trendy, or because people under them won't stop complaining about using svn in 2014).

You can use git for version control without a full repository copy -- you can git clone with limited depth, for instance.

Before TFS, we didn't even have everything in Visual Source Safe.
