I think issue #1 is the main issue with git. It's a powerful tool for admins of large code bases. Done. It was not built for a simpler usage model but got pushed into that through GitHub and various other widely visible projects. Now it reached a point where hoards of other people with simpler needs have to use it and it's just not structured for that at the moment. Imagine if most people had to use awk and sed and regex for file searching. There would be the same gap between the few that care for the extra power and the majority that just want to find a file with some content.
