I see one instance of confusing, a developer trying to figure out how to adjust to the new workflow, and two complaints. Of those two complaints, one was completely offtopic and unrelated to this, and the other seemed to be a nonsensical rant based on some bad assumptions. All other comments are positive.
With moving to git, we have a better workflow now for development. Through GitHub, the project gets more exposure, and it's much easier for users to contribute to SM. Since the switch, I think that there have already been at least two commits by people that had never contributed patches before. It is also much easier for other to merge those requests, changing a multi-step process to a single button click.
