This is the main issue I have: git does not follow the principle of
least surprise. I'm sure it *can* do everything, if you know all of
the switches and gotchas. But you don't, even if you think you do.
Apparently many advanced git users have their subset well figured out,
and those never can understand outsiders complaining about how
difficult git can be.
