   I fully agree with Joseph on this issue.

   It is not an unreasonable expectation to expect experience with git.

We don't require git for anything in the GNU project, let alone being
able to use it to contribute a change.  You can get away happily
without learning any git commands and still be able to contribute to
the GNU project.  Just like being fluent in English is not an
requirement, it is unreasonable to expect that being fluent in git
magic is mandatory.

   In fact I think knowing git is mandatory today.

Really it is not...
