Being a Mercurial fan and Git hater, I was recently forced (once again) to 
use git, and I don't know *how*, my brain suddenly finished forming a 
complete mental model mirroring how git works. And it's like I suddenly know 
how to use it. I guess I already managed to learn most of it over time, what 
happened recently was that the puzzle pieces got put together.
