There's a shall-not-be-named open source PHP-based project that we're 
trying to make patches to to contribute back -- unfortunately due to the 
overly-engineered size, inconsistency of source formatting, and other 
factors doing complicated patches breaks Darcs on some occasions (said 
PHP source quality could politely described as an "unholy demon abortion").

The git/cogito option is being explored only for this particular 
circumstance, but I thought I'd get some Rubyist's opinions on it for 
general purpose use.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, very informative.
