Pasky has already given a lot to Git, and it would be great to see even
more merged back into Git where a consensus can be reached.  In fact
Pasky has said that his plan is to push a lot more towards Git and
make Cogito a thinner UI layer.  Either way, there's absolutely nothing
wrong with people choosing to use Cogito rather than Git.  It's just
that the separate Cogito tool shouldn't have a place on the Git website
any more prominent than say StGit does.

The Git website should be a place where Git makes the best case
it can for _itself_, not for its sister tools.  It's a distraction
and gets in the way of promoting Git as a stand alone tool.  At
least one new user has complained that it was confusing.

Personally I have nothing against Cogito, I just think Pasky should
separate his role as Git webmaster from his role as Cogito author.
If people have good ideas for Git documentation, the website would be
a natural place for it, and it shouldn't have to compete with Cogito
tutorials etc.
