I can give you some anecdata right now, that as a somewhat experienced git user at this point, I can scarcely determine those from the real thing. The silly option switches I think give it a way a bit (I got "--terrorize-subtree" which doesn't make sense, because terrorizing is what subtrees do to *users*). But my eyes glaze over the main text about the same rate it does for the actual man pages.
