There is enough native Git documentation and hopefully more coming
that third party tools should be pushed behind the scenes a bit.
At least on the GIT website.

Of course there is nothing wrong with having information there, but
the main thrust should be about Git and how to use it directly without
porcelains.  Especially in the light that people have recently
expressed a desire to advocate and document the use of native Git
more strongly.

Having a link to Cogito off the front page of the Git website that
says... Cogito makes things "easier", no matter how much you
personally believe it, isn't the way everyone feels and is at
odds with the native-git message and improvement effort.
