I just wish git had proper --help output instead of just dumping you into the manpage.
Like sure these eighteen pages contain the information I need, but what I wanted was a reminder that '-D' is the branch delete switch. It's a goddamn waste of my time to parse a manpage, it's faster to switch to my browser, open a tab, and take the summary at the top. Just write terse help text FFS
Git is an example how a technically inferior tool can still dominate. No offense, Linus: Git is great. But other DVCS exist, such as Mercurial SCM. Jujutsu has recently been the subject of much discussion. Given that 20 years ago, we worked with Subversion (SVN), I wonder what will be the state of the art tool in 20 years.
Happy birthday, Git! I like you despite your weakmesses. Or is it only my weaknesses? I don't know, I'm drunk right now.

Semantic merge would be nice
