In your personal opinion, what's so "bottom up" about checking out code from a repository and committing changes to a branch?

What? Care to point out a single example of what you perceive as being one of those "catastrophical" failures?

In all my professional life, which includes a bunch of years as a data analysis, I never experienced a single failure with git. Not a single one.

In fact, the only failure I ever experienced with git came from a stupid error I once made by tracking a git repository which found its way into a Dropbox shared folder.

Care to shed some light on what you perceive as being your pain points?
