I don't understand the hostility towards it. These types of complaints like "oh if you misuse this tool that you didn't bother learning about, it does things you probably didn't expect" are basically completely useless.

Try randomly slapping your hands on a keyboard and writing software in <insert language>. Now complain that because you can't do that, <insert language> sucks. That's basically how I see these types of complaints about git.

These koans point out how the UX of Git often makes it harder (than necessary) to learn.

> try randomly slapping your hands on a keyboard [...] you can't do that

Well it worked when they chose all those command line arugment letters... </s>
