Maybe the example should feature VC, since the VC users are the ones
likely to be least familiar and least comfortable with a command line
tool and figuring out the right options.

Unix users are used to scouring man pages to determine the right set of
cryptic flags and switches, so tailor it to the users who need the most
hand-holding with the command-line process.
