I've written my own toy git implementation before, I know how the underlying design works.

You're assuming that I have trouble understanding and using git, when I actually have 16+ years of experience with it, and I can use it just fine.

It is horrible to try to teach to new people. Those operations sort of make sense one you already know how it all works, and can see how the coders wrote it. But that is backwards, since it actively makes it more difficult for neophytes to understand it. "It gets easy once you're an expert" isn't actually good design.
