I was a bit concerned about using the little guy too, but I've gotten
overall very good feedback about him - people seem to like him. I
think it's good to have a little bit of illustration on a page.
However, as for your concerns, I think a) it's really hard to argue
that environmentalists would actually care what that thing is doing
and b) a newbie to Git will have no idea what a 'tree' is - that is
really only a sort of inside joke. You would have to have been using
git for a good amount of time to know that 'eating a tree' would be a
bad thing. That's why I've been telling people that he's _storing_
trees and that you don't want to be around when he 'gc --prune's :)
