No. You are being deliberately obtuse. There is no way to argue that "reflog" is something that is intuitive or that should be known by somebody who just wants to commit on branches and merge them sometimes. Which is what most people need git for. If the minimum level of knowledge to operate a car is to know what every piece of it does and how to reassemble it from scratch the designer of said car hasn't been doing his job. This is exactly the problem with git. You wanted 2 branches and now you have to understand the that the underlying system is actually a filesystem cause that's what Torvalds was used to.
