That's the problem with git. It's extremely powerful, but requires a lot of knowledge to use well. It's a lot like a F1 racing car: the performance of such a car is phenomenal compared to a regular car, but the driver has to really know what he's doing to operate the thing at all. Just google for "F1 steering wheel" to see the controls they have to operate. Honestly I think it's an accident of history that git became so popular for software development outside of Linux kernel development. It doesn't help that git is really a good example of evolution, as seen in the UI. It would have been better if it had been architected more thoroughly before releasing for general use.
