@b0rk the second reaction comes from two different groups.
a) those who understand the basics but don't realize there's more than add, commit, push, pull, because they never had to look into it in their 2 person projects. There are lots of articles about the overconfidence of the advanced beginner.
b) those who pretend because they've heard from someone that rEaL dEvElOpErS are git masters. Anything they barely know to use is TOTALLY easy, anything else isn't worth knowing anyway.
