SmartGit is extremely useful, i'd recommend something like that instead of using the CLI if you have trouble.

Once you start adding more than one developer to a Mercurial repo you need to know how Mercurial works, so I don't see how this is much different. In fact adding remotes to Mercurial was a much harder process last time I used it.

"The mental model for Git is needlessly complex and consequently distracts attention from software under development. A user of Git needs to keep all of the following in mind:

    The working directory
    The "index" or staging area
    The local head
    The local copy of the remote head
    The actual remote head 

Git contains commands (or options on commands) for moving and comparing content between all of these locations.

In contrast, Fossil users only need to think about their working directory and the check-in they are working on. That is 60% less distraction."

I don't think about any of this when developing. I check out a branch, work on it, commit to it, and push it back up. If the fix is larger than a few commits i'll make a feature branch. What's so hard about that?

Also, everyone using git isn't a bad thing. It means we finally have at least one standard in development.

Can't you just use a tablet and DRAW the graph like it was hand-made?

I don't understand...
