To take this in a slightly different direction, what exactly is the
benefit of the new feature?  Apparently my git doesn't have it enabled
by default, and git works fine for me.  Am I missing out on something
that I should feel inferior about if my non-debian-etch running
friends(*) found out about it? :)

Have fun,

(*) Actually I compile my own git from source anyway.  I never want to
live without "git rebase -i" and "git add -p" ever again.  Life is too
short! :)
