My point wasn't that we should use git only. I was just trying to figure
out what you meant, because I didn't understand the phrase "pure git
based merge requests".

GitHub lets you use the same workflow as Gitorious for merging if you
want. It just has a "feature" that lets you merge code without you
having to do it yourself, doing it under the hood for you with a click.
If you choose to go that route, it cherry-picks.
