I'm sure the workflow itself is documented somewhere, but is
there a good writeup of _how_ git doesn't work with it, e.g. what
capabilit{y,ies} is/are missing?  Seems this might be of interest
to the git developers, not because they necessarily want to support
FreeBSD as such, but as an example of a real-world workflow that git
currently does not handle well.
