And closed systems too.
And server configuration snapshots.
And definitely dotfiles. Keeps all my machines in sync as I like them.
and all my papers. :) I use git for managing word docs at school.
Ooh! Evangelism time!

Have you tried LaTeX yet? I just started using it seriously and I don't think I'll ever go back. It's amazing for writing. And since it's good old plain text, it's highly compatible with git. I love being able to import sub-documents into one large structure; it's like writing modular code, but with papers.

I will definitely check it out. Getting get to sync whith MS doc was certainly a pain.
