Same boat myself.
I would guess that it would shine
for working on the kernel (especially if your name is Liuns Torvalds)
and suck for pretty much anything else. Linus designed it to scratch his
very specific kind of itch. It is a purpose-designed tool.
From what I've read, though, many other people are making it more
general and it's getting better in this regard.
For anything
else one is likely to do subversion, cvs, darcs, just about anything
would be better.
Don't know if you've heard about/ read about the Xgl
(http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Xgl) riff where Novell, for
a time, took Xgl development out of public view. One of the Xgl devs
who wasn't employed by Novell, Zack Russin, (feeling out of the loop)
threw out the idea of putting Xgl development on git. It might allow
keeping separate not-always-available repositories, and merging when
they are. I think I read about other projects considering this
scenario as well, but I don't remember any specifics.
