Different source systems for different use cases. Git was 
developed by Torvolds because he wanted a source control
that was better at handling a multitude of branches and
probably aimed at the development style for the Linux 
kernel. 

I know from personal experience that some refactoring
(e.g. file/directory renaming) is not supported by older 
VCS like CVS. Other VCS can support file renaming but
not directory renaming and some do both.
