No problems. It takes a little time to get used to git but then you start liking 
it. Anyway

you can create a patch for each commit. You can see a summary of commits via 
"git log"

Basically you need to run git format-patch -n <reference>
reference is a branch name or tag or a direct reference to commit from which 
you want to create patches

eg git format-patch -n origin/master would create numbered patches for commits 
after the commit pointed to by origin/master

Also, run "gitk --all -1000" to get an understanding of what exactly is 
happening in the background when you commit a change

Hope this helps a little
