For me the greatest benefit of git is 'git bisect', which allows you to
easily find which commit introduced a bug / caused a regression.
The solution isn't always to revert the commit of course, sometimes it
only helps to find out the real reason for a bug.

Since zlib has relatively few changes from beta to beta this is less
useful, since bugs can be found/fixed by manual inspection.
