I appreciate the effort you have made in trying to educate me here - reflog does look like it might have helped to solve my problem although it is extremely non-obvious even after running it. (i.e. i know i need to google or read something else rather than how to solve the problem).
I have recreated the problem I originally had and documented precisely why it really is a usability problem. Now that I have done this I am pretty sure that my anti-git sentiment is warranted - even if my initial comment was massively too harsh.

- jxf 13y agoI agree that git can be characterized as having some usability issues; I initially found the documentation obtuse in many places. My favorite git joke, by far: "git gets easier once you get the basic idea that branches are homeomorphic endofunctors mapping submanifolds of a Hilbert space." If you're having trouble understanding git but you find yourself comfortable with basic CS terms, you might want to check out Git for Computer Scientists [0]. This really helped put it in perspective for me. [0] http://eagain.net/articles/git-for-computer-scientists/ http://eagain.net/articles/git-for-computer-scientists/
