Git is a Harrier Jump Jet. And not in a good way

I don't use git but am considering it. So I was hoping this article might point out a few things I should beware of before getting started.

Instead, all it provides is one, single, minor example of a potential issue: you can't commit the same way as CVS or subversion.

Not sure why it took the author so many words to get around to saying that. And if there are other problems with git, I'm not sure why the author doesn't mention them.

It's kind of laughable, because you just need to add a flag - "git commit -a" to do what he wants.

Right. The entire article is about how you need to do "git add" before committing.

I can tell you read it reaaally carefully.

Umm, my point is that you don't.
