I know (or, at least, have known) how git works, in the way most people mean that (the data structures & on-disk layout, what a commit is, what a tag is, what a branch is, what HEAD is, staging, et c.). What I can't keep straight is WTF the commands are actually doing, in that low-level sense, which is a different thing, and there's approximately a 0% chance I'm ever going to use more than a tiny fraction of the commands often enough to remember that information.
