Cogito is more or less depreceted now. You should probably use git
itself.

Hmm.  We should then likely try to encourage kernel.org and denx.de
folks to advertise cloning their published repos with git rather
than cogito now.

It's also users who are *just* getting their feet wet in the git pool.

Yes, and cogito definitely _used_ to be a very good thing for them.
But today, starting with cogito instead of git is not really easier
for a beginner: OK, the program is a bit simpler to use, but some
commands are missing, so you'll sometimes have to type "git" and
sometimes "cogito" (the cogito tutorial was actually using a few git
commands). Then, the user comes on the mailing list and asks
something, he will be answered in terms of git commands 95% of the
times, ...

For that reasons, the maintainer of cogito said some time ago that he
was probably going to stop working on cogito. Maybe I missed something
in the meantime, but I don't think anyone volunteered to continue with
cogito. So, encourraging people to use cogito is a bit like "hey, try
this, but once you've finished learning it, you'll have to forget it
and migrate" ...
