For someone with decades of $vcs experience, I think the subtly (and sometimes not-so-) differences in terminology, which translates= to non-obvious cli behavior is the biggest impediment to drinking the git kool-aid.

Alias= es can help. :) Cheers, -Barry --Sig_/r3TxRTtQcCZ20IRyeeSdreu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJUa+jSAAoJEBJutWOnSwa/F1kP/R8Wk+DrBoHpBd23LGafROKh n4wvON9u0BYEtgX8toWG70s8uPezsVjdydkFbn0LR8mCo6FNzPgJ/stJ9dt6U0QI mITjDJbzR7qqqDTfDyRzxmM9t2OCnTylizQ8EpSma1DIc88jERgXAeOIlyVEvGfy 0R3Ko14Ux2KfSLDUG+MHfbwoID9/xjzA/PzeCWcDGy3QsWRc3yFXMcJQyg9PEtLI 2tcbe5GjePHVGujhZBBRKu6/RIGnn+e4m9Ec3+E9dybs/FTcRW9cswj52SKF0slm RzRIX0U/K84ACAgKfi4x1JViIXHEgM3sYbeulBpjjLcsjeyNyPm5tOWsnEa9t5Cq UERlYP6lxY8y6GiucEC8ey+7VuKv82QTKfmVN8/SlnfGEjuvi5d7q6hFl2a2gePY nW8ui6AoAw+G2jkZH/mMRZIfvpzQ/Dz+QbNH8DI5Vk/KmdYvRCZ65KZ39R4paI+t QkLftNqlIGVpBbXuHtqMfXQpNeeefFAkyAOKXMK8u8ElIr5qM8e6KPB+nOEmE89w +/GU5FX2x1db9WrOIVbSgTxprBVpp4rkgNg/ilP1mls16UVi8A9c91mIOa+1BpHU izSLaMYBxC8jMmEaK50Hxurfkrxf9viKDR6VXFBisdqmFjNtViQIskoVekWojOmM S66F/XTzrDSY1hRxeyxf =Jsiy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/r3TxRTtQcCZ20IRyeeSdreu--
