You can use just this single tool from Cogito. ;-)
The point is, I'll of course prefer doing this stuff in Cogito while I'm enhancing Cogito, and I'll work on Cogito while I and others will be using it. I didn't move on to pure Git long time ago since I simply consider its UI much inferior to Cogito's. Sure, given enough time and work, it is fixable - but UI flaws are very hard to fix and I find it more effective to work on Cogito for the time being, at least until I bring it to 1.0, then I'll see.
Besides, I'm used to Cogito. :-)
So yes, current Git code definitely is a part of the reason, but it is certainly not the main part of it.
