I don't see git going towards stgit at all. Indeed, it gets closer to
cogito but I still like cogito over plain git since it's easier to use
(my goal, though, is to add pull/clone commands to stgit so that one
doesn't need to rely on directly using other tools).

I am aware that, probably, the biggest problem with stgit is the
documentation (and also a lack of regression tests). I hope I will
find some time soon to write a tutorial and improve the command line
help. I will setup a wiki in the next few days so that others can
easily fix/update the documentation.
