Out of the shoot, you get a lot of value learning the basic features

Git does not have much if anything to do with writing software more
effectively.  Crappy programmers can create (and have created I am sure)
clean history that is easy to understand how tons of bugs have been
carried forward, and you can side port the bugs with ease across branches
in such a history.
