I chose words that were too strong. The core of my problem is the amount of learning and configuration required to revert a merge. Its too much. The poor choice of defaults and requirement that I fiddle with implementation details shakes my confidence in the whole of git. I'm sure its aslwasys eventually recoverable but that's far away from practical to me vs just using mercurial which I find easy to use and has sensible defaults
