I agree that git's user interface is messy and convoluted. Have you seen Easy
Git,
which reorganizes the commands a bit and provides simpler man pages:

(I've not used it, but it seems like a good idea).
Git's documentation is definitely written as a reference for experts of Git.
But in
addition to Easy Git, there's also some pretty great tutorials out there and
GitHub
has written some very simple references too.
We moved to Git (and GitHub) because we thought it would be easier for more
people to
get involved in contributing to Dabo. In my opinion GitHub makes it extremely
easy to
learn Git.
But I'll give it time. I was very enthusiastic about Subversion nine years ago,
too.
I have used Git, tried it for some of my own projects, even bought the
book and learned the internals. I can see it where it might be useful
for very complex projects, but for most it just gets in the way. I have
taken to using Mercurial. It offers a good mix of flexibility,
useability, distributed development and code sharing (BitBucket). I was
up and doing complex things just off hg help <topic>. I must of missed
the discussion on changing source control software:)
