That's why everyone should still use SVN (or even something distributed but friendlier, like hg or bzr) and git should be a minor-but-important player that's used where needed (like for managing the Linux kernel, which is what it's actually for).

But of course we've cargo-culted it everywhere, and anyone who objects runs up against the pervasive attitude that there are no bad user interfaces or difficult-to-use software, only stupid people.
