Fortunately, git is based on extremely simple principles.
Unfortunately, git grew out of really bright people hacking stuff
together in order to get sh!t dun; the result is not approachably or
even well documented, the UI is sometimes a bit of a kludge, the API
is probably nonexistent, and the terminology is so loosely thrown
about that it's easy to forget which way is up in discussions.
(Note, though, that Junio has done a laudable job of keeping the
whole experiment going strong).

Having recognized these deficiencies, I suggest that you provide
at least one tiny little use case that doesn't work as you'd
like; it should be in the form of a command line example that we
can all reproduce and discuss precisely.
