I agree with you. It seems like the basic concepts are neat and clean, but that the interface to it, and the vocabulary, is counter-intuitive. The article really gives me the impression that git-reset can be used to do several vaguely related things, with an inadequate terminology (--soft, --mixed, --hard?). Besides, it doesn't help that the first commands you learn about git (like git add, git commit -a, etc.) actually hide most of the complexity in a treacherous way (especially since they do not advertise the existence of the index). It's probably possible to learn git efficiently by approaching it as something abstract, not as that stuff you want to be quickly productive with. Sadly, you probably can't realize that unless you already wasted your time on the misleading tutorials.
