Git Usability Sucks

This wiki documents the reasons that people find git confusing or difficult to use. Although the title is link-bait, the wiki is intended to be a valuable resource to git users, evaluators, implementors and successors.

Goals

1. to serve as a map highlighting potential minefields that users may run into,
2. to help people to evaluate git versus its competitors,
3. to serve as a resource for people improving or wrapping git and
4. to inform future SCM creators of areas where git is confusing to some users.
