This is interesting - I like looking at corner cases of a tool to understand it better. For people having difficulty with git, I recommend going through the official book [0] on a couple of topics with a toy repo and play with the tool a little bit. Another alternative is to find a simple workflow, and stick with it until you have time to explore git more. Compared to other tools I've had to use in the past (AccuRev ughh), git is fantastic. Just being able to see what files have been modified without waiting for 10min+ or needing to be connected to a server changes your workflow, but we've probably become accustomed to those benefits, but still notice the arguably crusty command line.
