Yes I'm with you with this wccrawford. Git is not simple. Git internals may be simple hacks for hackers but git usage is another story. It does have neither understandable nor compatible terminology.

Because it's simple bash scripts but distributed and decentralised it has a steep learning curve.

No, no git is not simple. It's really complicated.

Git is mostly not bash scripts anymore:

    [~] 0 (jon@snowball2)
    $ file /usr/lib/git-core/git-status
    /usr/lib/git-core/git-status: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.26, stripped

Thank you. I was misdirected by the article. And I have not peeked at the git source ever.
