Respectfully, version control is not necessarily easy, and even with other versioning tools (they already exist, and some purport to be easier than git), you still have to think about what you're trying to do. I see this attitude a lot with new developers, and it's troubling. Of course git is hard; what part of computing _isn't_ hard? Git is a hell of a lot easier than, say, debugging a kernel panic, or solving a tricky race condition. If the vast majority of developers can't get by without learning anything beyond clone-commit-push, then I truly fear for our industry, because I am thoroughly average, and I have a pretty good idea of what git is up to when I run commands. Git might not have the best interface, and you could argue for different models, but some of this stuff just takes time and effort to learn. This is an important lesson for new developers to learn: some of this stuff is not, in fact, easy, and I don't where this expectation that it is comes from. It reflects a disturbing trend of learned helplessness I've noticed from newer developers. Computers are hard, but if you want to be the expert, you're going to have to figure it out. I don't think we need easier version control, I think we need developers who are willing to learn hard things.
