Even with the workflow you describe, Git brings some nice benefits:

1. Faster than anything else out there
2. You can work offline (even if you have an "always on" net  
connection, think about the times when it goes down)
3. You can easily amend mistakes in your last commit (git-commit -- 
amend)
4. You can easily stash away work in progress and go off on a tangent  
(git-stash)
5. You get nice colorized diff and log output for free
6. Great visualization tools included for free (gitk, git-gui etc)

And those are just a few off the top of my head. The more you work  
with Git, the more benefits you will discover, even if you're not  
trying to do anything fancy with it. And although you are currently  
using branchless development, you may find with time that you start  
using things like topic branches simply because Git makes it so darn  
easy to do so, and the benefit is that you'll keep your history much  
cleaner and easier to understand when you go back to look at it later  
on.

Cheers,
Wincent
