Similar story here. I had been using hg almost exclusively for the past 5 years, not just for personal side projects but also at work with teams using git, thanks to hg-git. Admittedly hg-git had/has its issues, especially slower push/pull performance compared to both standalone hg and git, and occasional friction with the rest team that was using git exclusively. I tried to grok git during this time and gave up more than once out of frustration. Eventually, just less than a year ago, I bit the bullet and made the switch to git. What did the trick for me was a list of short aliases I copied from somewhere, tweaked and have been maintaining in my ~/.bash_aliases ever since. Some aliases are just shortcuts for super common commands (such as "alias gts='git status'") but others remove the burden of remembering what combination of commands and arguments make sense to me ("do i undo a change with revert, reset, checkout or something else? well it depends.."). I still can't claim I know git in depth but it's good enough for day to day usage.
