This is a pretty decent criticism of git's current UI. The good news is that the core primitive operations underlying git are fine, and all that needs to be done is to create a better UI out of them. There's definitely room to build a great, user-friendly (commandline) user interface for git. I'd bet that the existing high-level operations like "push" and "pop" were relatively late additions.
