My interest in this is largely psychological. I am not a filesystem expert and don't apply any deep knowledge of the subject to help me understand Git. I've often thought that every command should be intelligible from the point of view of version control. [1/N]
Git makes a lot more sense thought of as a content-addressable filesystem the designer of which had "absolutely no interest in creating a traditional SCM system." (Not intended as snark! It's the real literal answer to a lot of my "why the heck is this like this?" questions.)
