Oh I don't know about that.. See rant on defaults below.

Not random, but I totally agree that git defaults are not so
sensible. I would e.g. like more lines added to .git/config by
default, so that fetch/pull/push would all do obvious things without
needing config changes. I blame the HEAD adventure on this.

I felt a tradeoff between unneeded complexity and utility when
starting out with git but not so much after that, and the more I use
it the easier it seems to get.
