Take a look at these (from page 1 of
https://stackoverflow.com/questions?sort=votes):

* https://stackoverflow.com/questions/927358/how-do-i-undo-the-most-recent-local-commits-in-git

All those upvotes DO NOT indicate a good question. They indicate a
broken design. Even the simplest of tasks are difficult to impossible
with Git.

My position is, avoid Git if possible. It is a time sink that takes
time away from real work. Ignore the Fan Boi's when they ask for Git.
The request often shows nativity or lack of experience with the tool.
