Git command line interface isn't friendly to new users because "git checkout" do too much for the same command depending of what arguments the user pass. Why do we can't have "git undo" that ony works with the working copy? Why do we can't have "git recovery" that only works with old revisions? As a intermediate user I understand why all the actions previous mentioned are under "git checkout" but for a new user this isn't clear.
