I met such a review tool once.
It was actually horribly frustrating.
I'd much sooner be using critic [0].
I am a regular user of KDE's Reviewboard. It's undoubtedly not ideal, but I 
find it more than powerful enough.

I'm afraid git was designed by people who take command-line arcana for
granted.  It's a mighty powerful tool, but you do have to invest time
and brain-space in it.
I have no problem with the fact that it's a commandline tool. I've been living 
on command lines since the TRS80 ...
Git's sub commands are a problem though, somehow. It's got a lot of commands 
that do a whole bunch of things that aren't necessarily clear, and that appear 
to have been named by people who speak a different kind of English.
That's why I have a cheat sheet hanging next to my desk. In case of doubt, look at that. Most of the fancy stuff you never or hardly ever need anyway. Then Google is your friend.

That's pretty much exactly what

$ git pull -r

(a.k.a. --rebase) will do for you, automagically.  It might not play
ideally with merges in all cases, but I'm guessing you don't have a
surfeit of those.
I know, but as a matter of fact I do get merges and conflicts or otherwise not 
cleanly applying patches a little too often, which tend to leave my working 
copy in a state from which I know I haven't been able to recuperate a few times 
too many.
Git reflog is your friend here. It can get you out of a tight spot in case of need.
