You shouldn't have to learn how the data structures of the tool work beneath the surface to successfully know how to use a tool.

I think you should learn them, but ideally it should be obvious from using a tool what its internal data structures are. For persistent data structures simplicity, transparency and stability are very important.
You don't have to. The difference with git is that it's even possible.
