Proof that GIT is more difficult to use

Proof that GIT is more difficult to use than other alternatives:

1. Instructions to checkout the stable branch of freeradius:

"""
 $ git clone git://git.freeradius.org/freeradius-server.git radiusd
$ git fetch origin stable:stable
$ git checkout stable
"""

2. Instructions to get the 6.0 branch of mysql:

"""
Get this branch: bzr branch lp:mysql-server/6.0
"""

Why most GNOME developers chose to use GIT instead of bazaar or mercurial is beyond me... *sigh*
