I see exactly which classes and methods were touched with little effort.
Which saves me clicks on each package and then browsing through the diff on 
smalltalkhub.

because?

I guess it's a matter of taste. I know that I need the git sources to properly 
find bugs that were introduced by some faulty version.
And usually I control each changes made to classes I maintain, which is very 
easy to do for me when looking at the changes mail sent from github since I see 
the touched methods on classes.
A full diff, like what is done for VM-maker, is a bit too much for me, 
especially when it comes in pure text form (compared to for instance what I see 
on github?)
