Yes. The reason is that unlike SVN where any query must be made from a remote, in git all the history is right there locally, so any meta information you could possibly want about any file, at any point in history for that matter is immediately available. I too really missed the SVN keywords when I switched from subversion but I quickly came to see they are not useful in the GIT paradigm. Hope that helps. Drak
