Steep learning curve sure, but it's an extremely sharp tool that allows one to work magic once you're comfortable with it. After 1 year of git experience I could trivially do things that I never would have even attempted after a decade of CVS and SVN.

One of these years I'll be comfortable with git. Maybe next decade.

This helped me learn git visually.

You can probably complete that in less than a day

Make yourself your own git cheatsheet of what you need, and maintain it with examples from usage. It'll click in place and be useful.

have my own cheat sheet. it still hasn't clicked.

I Just copy blindly off the cheat sheet.

hopefully something better will come along.

But you get your job done? Git's just another tool. My guess is you've got bigger fish to fry.

Exactly. Anyone is free to continue using subversion but collectively we have decided the learning curve of got is worth the flexibility.
