I rarely use anything beyond checkout, clone, pull, commit, cherry-pick, revert, and push in a job. If I have to, I'm probably asking the AI what to do by giving it my situation. And hopefully the AI can read about whatever git standards the company would like to be enforced so the engineer doesn't have to interrupt someone for that.

This is more about opportunity cost because instead of asking about git, you could ask about other valuable skills in your limited time with the interviewee, but I guess if git is really that important, then it's justified.
