Creating a sane and consistent UI for “git” is not the same as limiting its power.

They could have had every feature they do today without creating weird differences in options and terminology between sub-commands, and they could have set better defaults.

There needs to be an official “git 3” rethinking of options and defaults to solidify the foundation for the years to come and promote widespread adoption. Anything that simply tries to improve “git” as a layer on top will fail due to obscurity.
