I don't think you'll spend much time learning. And likewise I don't
think there is much in the way of user unapprochability in git anymore.
There is no need for people who have no desire to use or are confused by
the wealth of functionality in git to learn those parts. Everyday
operations can be summarized in a few paragraphs or perhaps just a table
mapping between svn and git. People who want those parts, however, are
lost unless the base system supports them.
Bulia, what operations do you commonly use in svn?
Mental, what parts of git do you feel are particularly user unfriendly
that are less so in mercurial?
