Thanks. I'll consider switching. I especially like that (if I understand
correctly) distributed version control systems like git allow you to
make commits even when you are not connected to the internet.

From the man pages git-mv(1) and git-rm(1), it looks like it is possible
to move files and directories and remove files. But it wasn't clear
whether or not you could remove directories. Do you know if this is
possible? It would be a nice feature to have in case I ever make this
mistake again. :-)

Best,
Asher
