Sounds like someone's just discovered how different DVCS are to centralized VCS. Still, tools like Tower, Smartgit and Github for Windows, especially Tower, make interface to Git less painful. With time, the interfaces to Git workflows can only improve, whereas what can you do with SVN? That said, he may have a point about (branch &) merge message management in Git. Perhaps this can be improved closer to git with git extensions, e.g. implementing some sort of ranking and filtration system. Related to that is users should not really have to change the structure of the VCS itself just to filter messages.
