In a Git repository, where do your files live?

Git separates its plumbing from its porcelain very well. That makes all the different front ends possible. Maybe there's one that will help you to work with git?

I differ from your opinion that the user experience is poor. I think it's great, and I prefer using the command line interface.

As an example of a different frontend, have you tried "jujutso" [1]? Every time I ended seeing a comment about git vs Hg usability I am reminded of it. It uses git in the backend but its workflow/frontend seems streamlined.

  Jujutsu is a Git-compatible DVCS. It combines features from Git (data model, speed), Mercurial (anonymous branching, simple CLI free from "the index", revsets, powerful history-rewriting), and Pijul/Darcs (first-class conflicts), with features not found in most of them (working-copy-as-a-commit, undo functionality, automatic rebase, safe replication via rsync, Dropbox, or distributed file system).

This is pretty interesting. Maybe a missed opportunity to call it jugitsu
