First, keep in mind that nearly everything I do is single commits.

In tortoisesvn:

- mark 6 repositories in explorer and click update.  All repositories 
will be updated.

In tortoisegit:

-  pull, stash window, rebase, stash pop prompt per repository.

Just with the update you are already a two dozen of clicks in.

Always the my way or the highway attitude, all along the way implying 
the opponents are Neanderthals for their efforts to engage with you. 
Typical.
