Oh I know exactly, what you mean! If only FTP had some kind of built in transport compression/bundleing, it would be so much faster.

The good thing about Git-ftp is, that you only have to upload all your files once. Every following upload will only contain the files that changed since the last upload (which I assume to be not that much files). You can even git ftp catchup, if your files are already existing on your server. But I agree, that there are some limitations at some point. So it depends on the project, I guess.
