git is enough different from cvs and svn that it will seem
unreasonable at times. (And it keeps me confused.)
Setting up temporary duplicate repositories to experiment on while
you're getting used to it is actually a very good idea. But you're
right. What you are trying to do doesn't require that.
Are you comfortable with the concept that a commit doesn't push the
commit to the remote? That's something I tend to forget at times, and
then I wonder why my status messages don't make sense.

Be careful where you see conspiracy.
Look first in your own heart,
and ask yourself if you are not your own worst enemy.
