I find git very unpleasant to work with. Merge conflicts are
handled quite ungracefully, but my main problem is that I have
no mental model of what is happening with which command (which
means that I remove my local copies of the repos from time to time).
The conversion from svn to git of gcc was a _huge_ project, and
extremely difficult (took > man-year).
