"Git gets easier once you get the basic idea that branches are homeomorphic endofunctors mapping submanifolds of a Hilbert space." [1]
That said, Git was tailored to the specific circumstances of the Linux kernel. I wonder if Linus ever expected it to become the dominant general purpose VCS. Though I suppose Junio Hamano deserves most of the credit for that.

At least Linus can laugh about it as well.
