I have tons of little problems with it that would be silly to enumerate, but they fall into 3 broad categories. 1) Terrible tab completion support. 2) Multiple command/option permutations that do nearly the same thing with small subtle differences. 3) Lack of cohesion amongst the community around best practices (especially with regards to branching/merging/rebasing).

Each git command seems like it was done by its own subcommittee without regards to what the other commands do. Functionality overlaps. Mnemonics from one command don't carry to another. I forget the specific example, but one command would be colorized with command line options, and another would be colorized with environment settings.

It's very un-Unix.
