True, but even after travelling along the RCS->VSS->CVS->SVN graph for the past 20 years I still find git baffling sometimes. I like it but the question is whether I want to invest my brain resources, which are a scarce resource at age 47, in learning a revision control system that can drive you into a cul-de-sac when using even the most basic workflow.

I think git!=simple but I applaud the effort.

The model behind Git, the way the repository works/conceptual model, is incredibly simple. The only trick is learning which commands are used to make the changes you want, and that can take a little time (and Googling).
