I use it a little, mostly for personal filesystem repositories for
keeping track of changes to arbitrary directories, and while I like its
speed and flexibility I do find that it doesn't really work the way I
want to work. My workflow usually goes:

1. checkout
2. work on branch
3. check diffs against HEAD
4. individually revert changes I don't want
5. individually commit changes I do want
6. repeat from 4 until done

Step 3 is awkward because git doesn't like diffing against the working
copy, and wants me to stage the changes first. But if I do that, step 4
becomes rather difficult.

It doesn't help that the git Eclipse plugin is still rather broken.
Eclipse's SVN plugin is fantastic. I like being able to point at a file,
ask it what's changed, then point at an individual change in the file
and say, revert that.

Yup, works fine. Ta!
