Hi,

The page http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Infrastructure/git/UIFlaws contains a number of claimed UI flaws of git. I suspect that a number of them are out-of-date; it doesn't seem to jive with my recent reading of the documentation. Could anyone point out which are still accurate with recent git, and which aren't?

Thanks, Elijah
