I disagree. Learning git is harder than all the others. It doesn't matter
what order you learn them in. If you look at the figures in point 10 of
http://steveko.wordpress.com/2012/02/24/10-things-i-hate-about-git/ (you can
largely substitute bzr for svn there and it won't get any more complex) and
tell me those are of equal complexity.
For all it's power, the git U/I is just inconsistent and counter intuitive.
If you use it routinely, you get so you remember it and it seems easy. If you
don't, you have to re-climb up the learning curve each time.
