Well, in comparison to RSS: git's fairly good at negotiating and transferring a subset of relevant commits over the wire, whereas RSS feeds (naively, as I understand it, and without really considering ETags or other magic) tend to be rendered server-side as a list of posts, regardless of whether client(s) are already up-to-date on the latest content.

Couldn't a client pull these all of these together and combine them to achieve the same sort of thing, or even perform filtering itself?
