The entire SCM interface is very SVN-centric IMO. I raised a number of git related m-rel-p issues some time ago, but have been busy moving countries and more in the mean time. I doubt there has been progress on them, though. One pretty much required a core change to Maven (perhaps something for 4.0.0?) which IIRC people were adamantly against.
One example off the top of my head is allowing meaningful tags to be created. Another was the git provider not respecting git configuration, I worked around that by using native git IIRC. There were other things, nothing HUGE, and mostly work-around-able but still not ideal for general use IMO. Fred.
