It is done semi-automatically...

There is a lot of "FUD" about how git used to be.  FUD is probably a bit
too strong, but most of the complaints I see about git aren't true in
recent versions.

Git is definitely harder to learn, but I personally feel that it has been
worth it.  I'm not sure how much it matters for something like Slime,
though.
