Indeed, in most small-medium project scenarios it may be an overkill. But, if the people involved are proficient using it and the learning is not a issue, there is still git goodness to be used (or even dare I to say: to enjoy). I find myself using A LOT of local branches while developing. Not only they are cheap to make/destroy, it's pretty flexible to manipulate it (ya, rebase). When you are comfortable with things like staging, stashing, branching, rebasing, rebasing interactively, using -p (patch) in commands and reflog git enables you wonderful workflows (note the plural). There is this gap between awkardness/frustation and power/enjoyment when using git. Tools like these help people jump it.
