can be applied to you about git technically. I think that's just me being a "little" pedantic though.
It sounds like the issue you actually have is that the documentation isn't easily readable in one or two sittings, and you don't have the time (or can't be bothered) to go through it and learn it. Which I totally understand, everyone has different things they need to spend time on, most of the time learning Git isn't one of them.
I have read large parts of the git docs. I don't like them. This is not just the text: the low contract colours and hard-to-read fonts are also factors.

So how long should it take to learn a VCS? And how long does git take to learn?
If I do do this, I will explicitly lay out the user's metal model in the documentation at the start. Then it will be the user's fault if they can't be bothered to read it.
