Yep. I really hope someone forks git with these ideas ...

  I don't even know if it has to be a fork, maybe a few batch/python scripts could be enough. The problem is that frequently by the time people become experts in a field, they no longer see the beginner's difficulties.

    your 2nd para is gold. I believe this explains the phenomenon where when you join a new company or parachute into a new codebase for the first time, its often painful ramping up. because so much tribal knowledge is undocumented. or docs not kept updated and wrong. or each dev has their own workflow that works for them privately but nobody's maintaining a common one a newbie can use to get started. some shops/projects better about it than others, obviously.

  No need for so much work. Simple commands can be accomplished by adding a git alias. More complex commands can be just a shell script. Put it on PATH with a name like `git-something` and now you can run `git something`.
