The #1 complaint, people didn't like the git version numbers, which are
sha1 hashes. The developers were fine with it, but the users got confused.
There is also a mental transition cost to getting to understand non
linear history. The transition from CVS to SVN is pretty minor compared
with moving from central versioning to distributed, and it will take
some time to fully come to grips with that.
