All I use in git is clone, pull, commit, push. I do not use feature branches. The only branches I use are for releases that need to be maintained separately from master. I absolutely do not care if there are "fix typo" or WIP commits in the history. The amount of effort it takes to get a "clean" commit history has negative payback in my experience. It should be said I am a lone developer for the most part, sometimes working with one or two other people. So Git in fact is overkill for that scenario. Subversion would do just as well and in fact I prefer it or mercurial. In a large project such as Git is meant for, my usage probably doesn't apply.
