I realize the world is passing me by and that I'm rapidly turning into a

equate to proficiency in version control systems, especially with the less
frequently used commands. I personally would prefer that more general
commands and concepts be used where possible so that newcomers not be put
off unnecessarily by the complexity of version control.

I'm not sure what the issue is. Is there something, concretely, that
needs to be fixed?
You'll have to ask Skip if he thinks there's a concrete problem. I
haven't seen one, but I've only been reading this thread with one eye
and it may be I've missed the mother of all problems.
The (non-concrete) issue, as I understand it, is simple: be aware that
not all Python developers are necessarily expert in DVCSes, and please
keep it simple.
