If you would write git from scratch now, from the beginning, without concerns for backwards compatibility, what would you change, or what would you want to have changed?

Yes, I know, I know. "Worse is better". It is better to release early and get feedback what is really needed, as opposed to what do you think is needed.

I think git is a wonderful example of "evolved" software, evolving practically from the very beginnings.
