It's really not. Things that are (relatively)
simple in the
database tend to require walking the entire revision
tree in Git in order to figure the same data out.
Git is awesome for software development, but trying
to use it as an article development tool is really a bad
solution in search of a problem. We could've had the
same argument years ago and said "why use a database,
SVN stores information in a linear history that's useful
for articles." Having diverging articles may be cool/
desired, but using Git is not the answer.

Fair enough. I learn something new every day. I definitely think that
distributed article editing is a great idea, even if a git-like system is
not the answer to it.
