I'm not an apostle of Git, nevertheless, your statement is wrong.

Workflows are designed according with the tools you had when you
designed it. Sometimes you improve your workflow as you improve your
knowledge of tools. And sometimes you create new tools to improve your
workflow.

But sometimes other people create a new tools that improves the system
but requires a dramatic change of workflow for better. I know Changing
of mindset is never easy, but the attitude of "I won't change my
workflow" closes the doors to any improvement.

Many projects are using Git, we are not talking about early adopters or
isnewisbetter guys. It has been tested in real world for several year,
and may projects are moving to it. So I would give it a second chance.
I'm doing so, in spite I'm not exactly a young boy and early adopter, I
can see some advantages in git easy branching and merging.

Evaluate git and workflows again as for the first time, as if it were
the first time you have heard about it. Forget Graeme Geldenhuys,
sometimes he says  things with manners that.... well, sometimes is looks
like seducing people is not among his virtues but the other way around
;-),  Take a new fresh look to Git.
