I'm generally also one of the git sceptics - Though I loved staging for a while as for the fine grained control. `git add --all` just might not do the right thing - for paranoids like me. Just recently got to know you can skip the stag

That even partly fits to something the article alludes to, and maybe should have been stated more explicitly: that it's about communication: so getting the people talk to each other and be motivated and try to solve a problem in a spec
