To me, the biggest difficulty was to understand the vocubulary. I
started with cogito, and looked for branching features in cg-branch-*.
The /features/ themselves seem nice, but the names of commands are
confusing to me. I'd expect something called cg-branch-add to create a
new branch, while it just tells cogito where to find one. And the git
Vs cogito increased the confusion.
