Pasky has already given a lot to Git, and it would be great to see even more merged back into Git where a consensus can be reached. In fact Pasky has said that his plan is to push a lot more towards Git and make Cogito a thinner UI layer. Either way, there's absolutely nothing wrong with people choosing to use Cogito rather than Git. It's just that the separate Cogito tool shouldn't have a place on the Git website any more prominent than say StGit does.

The Git website should be a place where Git makes the best case it can for _itself_, not for its sister tools. It's a distraction and gets in the way of promoting Git as a stand alone tool. At least one new user has complained that it was confusing.

Personally I have nothing against Cogito, I just think Pasky should separate his role as Git webmaster from his role as Cogito author. If people have good ideas for Git documentation, the website would be a natural place for it, and it shouldn't have to compete with Cogito tutorials etc.
