What I learned from this thread are these:

 (1) CGI does not need Cogito but just needs core GIT.
 (2) Nobody said he uses Cogito on kernel.org machines.
 (3) But Cogito is installed nevertheless.
 (4) Installation of Cogito is done via RPM "with Makefiles and
     spec files" and both Cogito and core GIT comes bundled in.
 (5) I gather that there is no core GIT only RPM (nobody said
     this explicitly in this thread, though, so I may be
     mistaken about this point).

And that was where my comment about "just an installation
convenience" came from.

If somebody said Cogito _is_ used on kernel.org machines, then I
would not have said "just" nor "convenience".  That would mean
there is a real need to have Cogito and having just core GIT
would not be enough.
