Git lacks immutability? The hashes for each chain are published and used to ensure history can not be modified as each new transaction is added.

In terms of "decentralized consensus mechanisms", I'm not aware that is a requirement for a blockchain. Certainly consensus is required, but the decentralized bit is a choice. Here is something from finra that I hope helps show I'm not the only one thinking this way, there are other references of course.

Why would you say that, git is a blockchain. Blockchain was invented in the 90s. The first using the NYTs as the independent "proof" for partners to validate the integrity of the chain.

git is blockchain technology, and has been around a lot longer than cryptocurrency.
