Using git to manage versions of packages would be too much overhead and the main functionality of git -- storing all the versions of your files -- is not actually needed by users of package manager, software packages management system can have that kind of functionality, but would just be considered as bonus. | |

This saves all of us the work of compiling all of our own applications and libraries and leverages skills of the maintainer. | |
