- handling of renames and binary files. I put these two together since
they both relate to the same difference between bzr and git. In git, files don't even actually exist in the data model, only their content matters. This makes working with binary files a pain (they actually have to be ignored in the repository), at least last time I checked.
... er, what? git has better handling of binary files than many SCMs that I've used. The main thing is that it isn't quite as easy as some to write custom merge hooks if you want to do non-trivial merges of binary files (trivial merges work fine).
