You’re not wrong, but I think it’s mostly a result of bad porcelain. I did 8 years of CVS and SVN at the beginning of my career, and I remember viscerally how within 6 months I understood the internal behavior of git better than I ever did after nearly a decade of Subversion and predecessor. IMO the git model is an incredibly high power-to-weight ratio for what professional software engineers need, I just can’t get behind efforts to water it down for easier onboarding. No one would suggest professional chefs replace their knives with preformed vegetable slicers from late night TV.
