You are making a mistake regarding how you think about git. Git is not really a revision tracking system. Git is a content tracking file system manager. It happens to be the case that these two uses largely overlap, but what Git really lets you do is take snapshots of your filesystem, annotate each snap shot, and allow you to compare snapshots. It does not keep track of your changes. You keep track of your changes when you use git by annotating each snapshot.
