I'm a huge Git fan and use it every day, but Git was never designed as a deployment tool. There may be situations where you want the entire history of your development to be included on your live server, but often this just isn't appropriate. Also, when deploying to multiple servers you have to invent adhoc methods to handle configuration differences. Even native ssh seems like a more prudent deployment method than Git. This smacks of using the closest hammer at hand, rather than choosing the best tool.
