Same for me.
As a beginner, I went to http://git.or.cz/, clicked "crash courses",
and since I didn't find "git from scratch", I clicked "git for CVS
users" (I know CVS, but haven't used it for a long time, I'm mostly a
bzr user converted from GNU Arch).
There, the commands are not "git something", but "cg something". Well,
not always, at least. Indeed, there's still a "git blame", a reference
to "git-rev-parse manpage".
Then, I can't even find it in the tutorial, but somewhere, it should
be mentionned to say who I am in ~/.gitconfig.
So, Cogito can not be seen as "a revision control, using git as a
back-end". It's definitely an additional layer, not hiding all of git.
And then, comming to the mailing list, and looking at other websites,
I can see git commands here and there. I started to manage branches
using cogito, tried git commands related to branches, and realized
that they used a totally different interface.
So, cogito has probably been of a real use at the beginning, where git
was said to be almost unuseable without anything else (I didn't try
git at that time), but I don't think it's the case anymore.
