James - I have that there mostly to support Joel's workflow. He often pulls down code from Git, edits locally, and then pushed it to the development server - As opposed to using a local development environment. I do agree that it could definitely be misused though as a history full of quick push would be useless.

Anderson - Thanks for pointing that out. I copied it from the softreset and didn't update it. :/
