(and seem to succeed) to bind the software usage to human real-life

I did some experiments too.
In particular I used its capabilities to create on the fly branches,
switching them and merging. It is very useful to do experiments.
Basically this page says it all: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/

Hint: look at "Managing branches" section.
Actually GIT seems to me a sort of RCS on (a lot of) steroids.
Its peculiar capabilities make it easy to "export" it as a version
control system as we usually
think of it (i.e., like CVS does for RCS). And of course it does a
lot more with respect to a "P2P-style" of working.
Anyway it's a great utility... It's still a bit unsupported but
people are starting to think about integration with popular IDEs and
environments.
My 2 cents,
