If not, then the promise of the porcelain fails. If cogito offers
"Here are 40 commands so you don't have to learn git's 140" and then
next says "Oh, and you'll still want to learn all those git commands
too", then its existence only makes the "too much stuff to learn"
problem worse, not better.

But I think you agree with me (for now) that fixing the git UI should
not involve creating a new primary command to replace "git".
