I've had similar experiences. Git has great potential, but the tools seem very immature, and basic things I took for granted with Subversion are huge pita's with Git. And it seems like all that needs to happen is a really solid toolkit to simplify those tasks.

I've had the opposite experience. I've generally found git a joy to use and I don't miss SVN in the slightest. I highly recommend reading Chacon's Pro Git book. As really understanding how Git works internally helps in using it a lot.
Could you please elaborate on that? What basic things did you have problems with?
