I don't see that it's obtuse. If you learn the basic concepts (as you have to do when you are a beginner to subversion or CVS) then you shouldn't have much of an issue.
Now why would that be voted down? Obtuse means "mentally slow or emotionally insensitive", so that could hardly have been what was meant. I assume that by "obtuse" you meant "hard to understand". So I stand by my comment that if you learn the basics then it shouldn't be that hard to understand!
yb66 - you are hellbound. Not sure why the OS X dictionary would consider obtuse to be the same as abstruse (that's wrong!), but at least I now know what is really meant. Which is what I had assumed was actually meant (if you followed my original comment, then that's what I said!).
