Well.. That's what I was afraid of.

I've used it.. But I was hoping more for a "here's how to do the git-flow
equivalent in the base GUI tool".

I've used the svn integration.. And if that's any indication of the extent
of the git integration I don't look forward to that.

I guess the overall point I'm trying to say is that we have to think about
the fact that people will want to use what they are familiar with.. And no
amount of cajoling will change that. Just like no one used the manual
svn-merge tool when suggested (before it was integrated into svn). So I'm
reticent to require processes that require not generally available
steps/scripts/commands.
