Another point is, if using _just_ _git_ requires you to learn "all those
git commands too" from git-commit-tree up (yes it does! if you want your
authorship information to be correct), something is wrong.

When/why do I need git-commit-tree? Isn't git-commit enough?

As I said, when you need to find out how to setup your authorship
information. It's documented as deep as on the git-commit-tree level.
BTW, the documentation is another important part of the
plumbing/porcelain separation, it's not only about the list of commands
but also that porcelain documentation should be reasonably
self-contained and not require users to peek at plumbing docs in order
to find out many stuff. It's also a consideration I take when
maintaining Cogito documentation.
