@tom some day maybe I should write up how the conceptual model of git is simple once explained, even if the interface is so bad. "Using" git doesn't explain its structure.

@cwebber Git is never simple. Even after understanding its allegedly simple internal structure, you still run into weird things with how blobs really mean blobs, not just files.
