I had a similar experience - a colleague with a habit of making huge commits happily cleaned up his act when he was shown this. More generally, it seems like everyone reacts to the list of git features with "that one's weird, I don't care about that one, that one's irritating, WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE!, don't care about that one, that one doesn't make sense...". A major part of selling people on git is finding the one thing that they each immediately love.
