Command names are closer to SVN/CVS ones, which lower the learning curve for similar concepts. The documentation really is at another level of didactic compare to git, and no, pro-git is not enough neither. Changes are tracked automatically, no need to explicitly add the files you changed to a particular commit (Whether or not it is a good idea is another discussion). Empty directories can be versioned, no need to create a .gitignore in it to fool the system (Same remark as above).
