I think the "just Google the answer" mentality to overcoming Git's obvious shortcomings is really problematic. For example, we once had a junior developer run into a problem with Git and before asking anyone else they went off and found an answer on Stack Overflow that solved a similar but slightly different problem. They naively ran the suggested solution without reading the documentation and wound up deleting our entire remote repo. Fortunately we were able to recover everything...

For context, we used SVN successfully for years before that without ever running into a similar situation.
