Re: [Census] So who uses git?

Its difficult to explain because it breaks away from the precedent set
by other SCMs.  I wouldn't call it a show-stopper for this reason.  In
fact, some who have wrapped their heads around the concept might call it
a valuable feature.  I, myself, have found it a handy thing in certain
circumstances.  In other circumstances I simply bypass it by adding -a
to the command-line.

This doesn't fit my definition of a show-stopper.

In general, I think it is grasping the reason for the index file and how 
git commands like git-commit and git-diff interact with it.

IMHO this is the one big showstopper. I had problems explaining the 
concept myself.

For example, I had a hard time explaining to a friend why a git-add'ed 
file is committed when saying "git commit some_other_file", but not 
another (modified) file. Very unintuitive.
