- No changeset/merge tracking

If we have a lot of active branches and a lot of merging between them, 
changeset tracking could be a major plus. I've never used git but I've heard 
that it, and other distributed development-style SCMs, have changeset/merge 
tracking features that are really helpful. Could someone who's used them 
comment on this?
