People DO NOT DO WHAT THEY SHOULD DO. If they did, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

No. If I could describe them, I wouldn't be so adamant about a SINGLE, fairly simple, flexible, socially adapted workflow that works for almost everybody. I'd figure out a workflow that is more adapted to existing Emacs usage, with a straightforward upgrade path to "full tilt boogie" exploitation of advanced DVCS features. Wouldn't you? Why do I expect them? Feel free to review the "how do I get myself out of here" threads on any of the DVCS user lists if you must have examples. There are plenty on bazaar@canonical.com.
