In this thread - tons of smart people thinking that the tools we use to replace "make a backup of a file on a server somewhere" should require entire reference books, as if that's normal.
Saying "it's a graph of commits" makes no sense to a layperson. Hell the word "diff" makes no sense. Requiring training to get something right is acceptable, but "using CVS" is a tiny tiny part of the job, not the whole job. I mean, even most of the commenters on this thread are getting small things wrong (and some are handwaving it away saying "oh that small detail doesn't matter").
Look, git is hard. It's learnable, but it's hard. The concepts are medium hard to understand, and the way it does things is unique and designed for distributed, asynchronous work - which are usually hard problems to solve.
Just wrapped it. It was an amazing module and story, and while patch 2.0 was annoying, the stories and missions from phantom liberty were amazing.
