I don't think those commands are remotely sufficient to work with git. You're forgetting about merging, traversing history, branch creation, remotes, grokking the staging area, etc. I'm sure I'm missing a lot as well, because those of us who have worked with git for a long time take these things for granted. And it does frustrate me that it's so complex, because Mercurial shows us it doesn't have to be this way. Unfortunately, Mercurial never took off (presumably because it never had a good GitHub analog).
The examples I mentioned were taken from notes I made myself when I was learning git (whenever I had an "aha" moment, I would make a note so I wouldn't forget how to work around it later, since I didn't know the git jargon and thus couldn't Google effectively). Maybe my experience is atypical, but at the time I didn't think I was doing anything novel.
How are they forgetting merging, remotes, etc? The commands are literally on the front page. The only thing it doesn't have is a staging area, which is a conscious decision that I happen to agree with.
