One benefit is to be able to search efficiently for touched procedures or variables: `git log -G` is very slow even on a powerful machine. Not that the results I get with `git log --grep=` are generally super useful, but I can at least find when a package was last updated for example, this kind of thing. -- Thanks, Maxim
