Noidea. Like you, Git is all I've ever used, and very little.
My understanding is that prior to Git, all merges were manual, which I imagine puts a much greater workload on maintainers, and increases the chances of errors sneaking into the code during even routine merges. Also pre-Git VCS used a database, rather than a folder heirarchy with config files, so they're inherently more centralized. Which has pros and cons.
