Git has certain usability issues, although this article didn't seem to cover them. For example, previewing changes about to be pulled from a remote repository, or resolving conflicts after a bad pull, are complex and counter-intuitive operations.

The UI should always guide the user how to proceed in unclear situations. Common use cases should have simple shortcuts, instead of requiring 2 or 3 separate commands.
