In my opinion relying too much on user understanding implementation is a mark of bad design. I don't care about more advanced functionalities of git, on daily basis I have very simple workflow that I want to "just work". Sure I can spend few days studying git internals, but it feels unnecessary. Especially given that in the past I've worked with simpler proprietary tools that "just work" (though did not have equivalent of "power" features).

On the other hand I think git is like bash - has some serious warts but it's good enough to be used widely; and unlikely to be replaced by anything else at this point.
