I agree completely. But just to let you in on where I'm coming from: * Git is not part of my main-line toolkit. I just dabble in it. (out of curiosity!) * I have limited time and energy to pursue my curiosity. My goal is to focus that on a manageable number of things. Writing fun code projects is my primary goal, git is a means to that end. Since this is mostly solo coding, I don't often have the need for the advanced distributed features. * I visted the site from a link on HN on a Friday evening, not as someone seeking information about git.
