People DO NOT DO WHAT THEY SHOULD DO.  If they did, we wouldn't be
having this discussion.  Instead, they look for shortcuts, for
convenience, for the familiar.

No.  If I could describe them, I wouldn't be so adamant about a
SINGLE, fairly simple, flexible, socially adapted workflow that works
for almost everybody.  I'd figure out a workflow that is more adapted
to existing Emacs usage, with a straightforward upgrade path to "full
tilt boogie" exploitation of advanced DVCS features.  Wouldn't you?

Why do I expect them?  Feel free to review the "how do I get myself
out of here" threads on any of the DVCS user lists if you must have
examples.  There are plenty on address@hidden
