To me, git's problem is the exact opposite - the commands are based on how the underlying technology works, not on the use case for the user.
The best example is 'reset'. I understand git's internals reasonably well so I know the reason why, but it's not obvious that you need the same command to "un-add" a file, or to wind history back two commits.
