It's a problem of user interface design. Git's user-machine interface does not follow the principle of least astonishment. It's not orthogonal. Functionality is grouped in very strange ways (you list, move, rename and delete branches with branch, but create branches using checkout? Seriously???).

The whole thing reminds me of the bad old unix days of "if it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand."
