I did lern the lingo and got bitten. I wanted to do one thing
also got the other one.

Something that I think has not been emphasized enough for whatever
reason is how _easy_ it is to test out git commands.  For example, if
you have a really_important_repo that you don't want to screw up, but
you need to do a potentially destructive thing to it, just do,

$ cp -r /path/to/really_important_repo ~/test
$ cd ~/test && git destructive

and you find out whether your mental concept of what "git destructive"
does is correct or not without possibly losing your work.
