> I dropped out of highschool and attended no postsecondary and I don't have any problems with Git. I started with the basics and read more as I got myself into tighter and tighter jams.
I think you may be underestimating the wideness of audience that this may appeal to. I was thinking of introducing my rather older Dad who knows nothing about CS/programming to version control and plaintext. He is an accountant, and currently uses the "File_Copy_1.docx" method of version control, even for simple documents that could just be handled by plaintext.
I would prefer that he avoid the confusion of git, where `git checkout [X]` can refer to [X] being a branch, commit, or file.. This new basic RCS may be good in that regard. I guess another option might be Legit (http://git-legit.org).
