Mike I suppose that the problem is that wrapping your mind around git 
and working out how to handle patches, especially as it takes time to 
get them accepted, revert them and manage trees etc is difficult.  I 
don't know about other but I have had a number of perplexing and 
utimately complete re cloning sessions to recover from problems with 
creating patches and comits etc.  Hence git whatschanged has been of 
limited value.  Given my experiences, I think it is going to be quite a 
step to start up in the future with git.
