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.

I sort of suspect that "git commit some_other_file" should really read 
HEAD into a temporary index, update "some_other_file" in that (and the 
main index), and commit it.

FWIW, this is also what cg-commit does.
