Cool, I might try this to give Git a second chance, for now I am resorting to hg-git whenever I have to touch a git project. Sometimes it gets confused when I'm rewriting history on the hg side and pull from the git upstream but overall having a sane UI I feel confident about without googling before every command (or worse, limiting myself to a "safe" subset and using it almost like Subversion, as some of my coworkers) outweighs the occasional snafu.

Two things to remember about git: Once you commit something, you can always get it back via the reflog no matter what git commands you type. The second thing, you should expect to have to Google before every command if you want to understand any software in detail. It's like saying, "I refuse to learn to play the piano because I don't already know how to do it." Well, yes. Listen to the radio then, but don't whine about how the piano has a terrible design.
