-1, as a git user who finally submitted to learning the internals, I think this is not the right way to design software. I realize linux/et al are all geek inspired technology festivals, but to imply that a good User Interface and human accessible commands are unnecessary is... silly, the rhetoric reminds me of the elitist GNU/linux propeller heads back in 1999 who would constantly and derisively snort in disdain at "Windoze" users because they didn't know how to do a find / -name myfile.txt -print. Especially the one's who argued vehemently that the '-print' option made any sense whatsoever.
It's clear that you don't agree with the principles behind gits design. Why not use hg instead? It's a perfectly viable alternative and provides many of the benefits.
