You need not feel that way. It's not you---the flexibility of dVCS means that until the Powers That Be promulgate a Workflow, this will be ambiguous.

You're absolutely right. Adopting a dvcs opens up a much larger world
of possible workflows and best practices, both for an individual and
for a project. It's a case of too much choice, so I feel strongly
that Python should adopt and explain exactly one preferred workflow
that will work for most people and use cases. People can still
experiment and find alternatives if they want.
