That is true.  And some of Git's commands are simply arranged
asymmetrically such that they're hard to remember.  For example, I find
the lack of consistency between the options to "git branch" and "git
tag" to be maddening.

All that said, I still think, on balance, that Git is a winning
technology and the right choice for our future.
