Without wishing to turn this into a which scm is best discussion, git isn't the easiest system for non-technical users to learn - it is aimed at power users. You may end up with a situation where using the version control is harder then creating the bundle. I've not used mercurial much but I know thats meant to be simpler than git, I have used bzr which i've found dead simple and quite like subversion, and it branches happily from subversion. I'm sure theres other possibilities.

Switching to a distributed version control system (DSCM) is not motivated by the user experience but rather the development/ contribution process (and removing my role as gatekeeper / janitor) -- and something I would like to do as soon as I am convinced one of the existing DSCM systems is the right choice, not couple this with TM2 in any particular way.
It would be great if TM itself can use the DSCM to maintain bundle changes locally -- how realistic that is, I am not really sure though.
