Now, it makes me really, really sad that Git has a reputation of being complicated, but I regularly hear from _my_ users that they do not understand how that came about.
Well, Git is not the easiest tool on the market to learn. For people used to centralized systems such as RCS/CVS/Subversion, many concepts are truly alien. I've recently experienced a transition at our company from MKS/SI (a RCS derivative) to Subversion, and the mental gap was for many users HUGE. Had we done the transition from MKS/SI to Git, I'm sure several user's brains would have exploded.
From my perspective, the concept I found most difficult to grasp at the very beginning was how the index worked, and many of the introductory texts on Git that I looked through only very brielfy explained the purpose of the index: Why is it there? Why is it called "index"? How does it fit into a typical workflow? Having a CVS/Subversion background, it took a while for me to really assimilate the concept.
