the fact that 10k tutorials exist says way more about the human urge to write, document, and share information than git itself. the 10k number is also a made up statistic. It might be 2k, it might be 20k. i use git daily and often fairly intensively, and i've read perhaps 5-10 tutorials, so the idea that "git requires 10k tutorials" just doesn't make any sense.

if anything, the fact that something with good search-fu might find a tutorial more specifically catering to their background and needs seems like a huge plus for git.

> Using P4 is: Download P4V, install plugin for $EDITOR, and double click on a changelist to submit.

"a changelist" ... "what the hell is that? I've been editing my files, I don't have "a changelist"."

and anyway, joining a company that's already using P4 is never, ever going to be that simple (even if it was actually that simple as the first user, which I question)
