Perhaps the question should not be why is Git so hard compared to SVN. A better question is, why is Git so hard compared to Mercurial. For me the problem is not the complexity of the model -- the value prospect of a DVCS is clear. The problem is the complexity of the interface.

Git is no less complex than your average C++ feature .. yet it gets not as much love when it comes time to learn to use it properly.
