You need to know much more to use git in anything involving more than one branch. You need to know git checkout, git stash, you need to know how to fix conflicts, you need to know rebase vs merge and how to understand git log when you use merge, you need git reset, you probably need git cherry pick occasionally.

One of the major day to day annoyances is the fact that (by default) I can't work on multiple branches without committing or stashing all the time, since switching branches, instead of being a simple 'cd' like in other VCSs is instead a destructive operation on my entire repo (also causing re-indexing for all content-aware tools...). And if I want the normal behavior? I need to learn some other commands to set that up, and learn their filesystem restrictions...
