As I am among those, who think that git *is* complicated, I decided to
sit down, and find out why
exactly I think so. Here are the top words/options/concepts, which I
faced almost immediately while
trying GIT, and which I find confusing:
rebase
index
revtree
reset
ref / refs
rev-list
rev-parse
At the same time, concepts like add, rm, commit, push, pull, merge are
natural and easily understandable.
