Not at all. git uses the “Parent” commit. So you can go back in history. Just 
not by sequential numbers but by position in the history chain.

The command ‘git bisect’ tracks that for you so you don’t have to care about it.

With git you never need to do that.

I also have never used it with SVN but with git it is quite good to find out 
who did introduce some specific code line, when and in which context.
You need it for finding the right person to discuss with. Of course only if 
there are multiple authors of a file.
