Sounds like you put two strikes against git before you even invoked the
first command, with that attitude.
If you are *serious* about having *git* work for you, it will.
Thousands of projects are using git every day.
But if you're looking at git like "it's not hg, and I already hate
that", you'll end up sounding like you have in the past few days.
Methinks *this* is the actual problem. Not git.
It's not just hg. It's other source code control systems as well.
Check out any of the other daggy guys. So sure, I'll admit a bias for
current technology over older tech.
Another part of the problem is that git is badly designed, poorly
documented, and the terminology is inconsistent. That, and the
limitations make for a pretty steep learning curve.
And a third part of the problem is that coming from a number of other
daggy tools, I was expecting a lot more out of git that what git
actually provides. Certainly, git can be used to do whatever, but a
pile of sand and some plastic can be made into a computer too, if we're
willing to put enough effort into it.
But hey, I'm using it. (I refuse to work with perforce). I had an even
worse bias against mecurial before I started using it. The big learning
curve was from the linear tools to the daggy tools which happened for me
with monotone.
