> Of course, that is the whole point of naming something sensibility..Just, for example, imagine how hard it would be if you have to learn/work in a version of C that calls pointers as 'branches'.

Git was not named with Mercurial in mind. That's what they're saying, Git's naming only feels strange because you're coming from another VCS. I found Git's naming strange wen I came to it from SVN. When I tried Mercurial after that, I found it's naming strange. Everyone names things differently. It's not a Git issue.
