[yocto] why does ref manual say that Git supports auto-updating "to a limited extent"?

proofing ref manual and in section 7.7, Fetchers, one reads:
"One useful feature for certain Source Code Manager (SCM) fetchers is
the ability to "auto-update" when the upstream SCM changes version.
Since this ability requires certain functionality from the SCM, not
all systems support it. Currently Subversion, Bazaar and to a limited
extent, Git support the ability to "auto-update"."
"to a limited extent"? can someone clarify those limits, compared to
what's supported by subversion or bazaar? thanks.
