Minor correction. That blog is someone else's (a friend of the gitosis author). I asked him to add that text because we constantly had (still have) people land up on #git asking for help but neither he nor the author are active in git-land anymore and won't answer questions and no one else was willing to pick up the slack. Fortunately he agreed, and was gracious enough to put that in, although I would have preferred wording that includes the word "unsupported" (IMO lack of support is a bigger reason than lack of features).
