Bittorrent as a distribution protocol is not suitable for Git-like traffic, so Radicle is doing their own p2p.

As I understand, Bittorrent is not a persistent data structure. Git and IPFS are. Radicle is another interesting approach. They used IPFS but switched to a custom protocol, as I understand, for performance.
