Excellent! People writing important papers really should be using Git. When documents are extremely complex, previously removed portions can have pertinence later.

This doesn't work particularly well for fields not using LaTeX as their document creation tool.

    I would think the GP means that git works much better if you are creating a document in a non-binary format (of which LaTeX is one example.)

Seconded -- at least for anyone using LaTeX or another git-friendly format. I used git for my masters dissertation recently, and it was very useful to be able to checkout old versions and compare them with its then-current state.
