Now, in some sense, you can ignore the difference between the two models, 
since you'd think that they are totally equivalent: from the git model, 
you can always get the "changeset" by just diffing the current state with 
the previous state, and conversely from the "changeset" model you can 
always get the "current state" by just applying the changeset to the 
previous state.

And if I understand correctly, that is how StGit and pg (Patchy Git), which
are patch management applications similar in the purpose to the Quilt, and
are based on Git, works.
