"I just don't understand why the git commands seem to cause so much trouble." To me the git command line is one of the tools that are great if you use them often. But if you use it less often it's really hard to remember the correct syntax especially since it's really easy to mess things up. (If know WPF, the binding syntax is in the same category. Really powerful but if you take two months break you struggle with the syntax). It really bugs me in git when normal things need 3 or more parameters and if you forget one of them you mess things up. Years ago I worked with mercurial for a while and I thought the commands were much cleaner and easier to remember.
