  1. What I hate is when the build instructions tell you all the dependencies, which you have, and just give you a simple ./configure && make instruction which fails on configuring, or fails on make because they make a change that broke the whole project. Worse yet, no tags to allow you to checkout an earlier working state. Maybe there's a gap in my knowledge of git, but how do you rewind a repository without tags? And of course the problem with submodules comes up from time to time, so I always use --recursive with every repository I clone now, which also doesn't always work. It's not that these are problems with git, but the developers themselves not correctly setting things up.
