Indeed, the miracle here is how git got so popular. It has _NOTHING_ to do with meeting needs or doing things spectacularly better than other tools. There was version control before git and it worked just fine. I just think some "cool kids" started using it, it developed a certain Caché that made it desirable and that was it: here we are with the most popular version control system in the world with an absolutely shitty, inscrutable interface. For the vast majority of git "users", this doesn't matter. They use git as little more than filestorage.
