You are correct Git will catch the changes in the plain text files.

What is nice about Sqitch and similar tools is they offer additional 
functionality, such as deploying to different servers(production, dev, 
testing, etc), declaring dependencies between changes, rolling back 
individual changes, etc. To get a sense of what is possible take a look 
here:

I have found it very useful. It comes down to individual preference.
