I would argue that all of these complaints are because the user does not fully understand what's happening, Git is not intuitive (in the sense it does not follow patterns of earlier source control systems). Git is very well designed indeed, very good.
See my other reply too where I describe a workflow I've introduced for our team (which has onshore and offshore staff). SmartGit is the best way to begin working with Git, it is much less confusing that the (poorly explained) command line stuff, plenty of time for command line later, most developers here rarely if ever need to use command line. Take a look at the Attlassian site, they have some great documentation: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials Finally I'm astonished that there is no Git forum out there, Github don't provide one and Git itself is archaic (mailing lists) and Syntervo rely on this Google group, we need a Git forum where everyone and anyone using Git can get answers to questions.
