No, you _do_ miss the point here.  You might _think_ that they work 
perfectly, but with revision control you want to have _exactly_ the same 
setup.  You want to be able to go back to a certain _revision_ (including 
the then-current firmware).

And that's what you don't want.  So git is not for you.

Ciao,
