I just find I end up spending quite a bit more time fighting with git than I do svn. It may be anecdotal, but I find my workflows are far more error prone in git, and consequently they take a lot more overhead to ensure they are right. What you say might be true by at least accepted theory, and it is true that command-line git (and git has a reputation of a bad command line) is the only dcvs I have worked with but I don't see a way around the fact that since you allow more complexity in interactions between repos, this is going to have more overhead. Even you seem to acknowledge twice as many commands for version control management for the simplest cases. I am not really anti-git even. As I say I use it for some things. But I am not at all convinced dvcs is always the right tool for the job.
