+1!

 - offline work on your laptop
 - "git stash"
 - keep various branches (experimental, feature, stable...), with
untold flexibility for cherrypicking, merges, etc
 - bisect!
 - visualise things with gitk
 - search with gitk for specific bits of code, changes (pickaxe), etc

once you start... it's a bit addictive...
