So based on my experience teaching git ( I remember a cvs to git migration …) , reality tells me people find git difficult.

Now, once you teach them it’s a commit graph with names, some of them floating, some people get it.

The thing is, not everyone is comfortable with a commit graph, and most people are not - just like people get lists and arrays but graphs are different.

So I agree with you on principle ( it shouldn’t be difficult), but most people don’t have a graph as a mental model of anything, and I think that’s the biggest obstacle.
