Git is just too much of an hassle when you only have one file of TODOs, a tiny hack or what not. Why bother with checksums when an incremental integer helps me memorize what revision I'm on? However as others has pointed out, maybe the dependency on rcs was not the best choice.

There's life beyond git, though. Bazaar gives you incremental¹ integers and a much nicer UI.

¹ barring merges, but those shouldn't happen in these use cases

Mercurial as well for what it's worth.
