Good question, however on the EmacsWiki it says

    Magit is the most popular front end for
    Git. If you are new to Git and do not need
    support for other vcs this is likely the
    package you should try first. [1]

so I don't think it is obsolete in general.
That must refer to the particular version, or
something else.

Besides it doesn't matter if something is
"obsolete" as long as it works and is
beneficial to the user.
