That's just it -- Git's goal isn't to make it as easy as possible for
Git _users_ to fix it (thought that is a nice thing to have). Git's
goal is to be a very good, very fast SCM. Bugs should be found and
fixed, but that can most effectively be done by the people who are
already knowledgeable about Git's codebase (i.e. its developers), not
its users.
