I guess that we should not say that Git is complicated. People tend to 
believe that, but it is simply not true. (...)
I agree. And to some degree I suspect that the documentation pushes some 
of the advanced things a bit *too* eagerly. (...)
As I am among those, who think that git *is* complicated, I decided to 
sit down, and find out why
exactly I think so. Here are the top words/options/concepts, which I 
faced almost immediately while
trying GIT, and which I find confusing:

rebase
index
revtree
reset
ref / refs
rev-list
rev-parse

At the same time, concepts like add, rm, commit, push, pull, merge are 
natural and easily understandable.
