 # Git has powerful changeset management - Git has very flexible changeset editing and easy merging from other repositories. With Git you can go back in history and edit commits, delete them, reorder or even merge lots of commits into a single commit for publishing. You can do fine-grained changeset management (i.e. the ability to commit only a portion of the modifications in the current checked-out tree).  Also, Git has strong support for tracking other repositories with the ability to merge from multiple sources easily, and to merge only some of the commits from a particular source (cherry-picking).
