I never had any problem working disconnected with Bzr. I needed a
connection only to transfer to or from the repository on Savannah,
and that could hardly have been avoided.

I never did a local commit. I did commits solely to put the files on
Savannah.

It is bad design of git. The option of distributed use may be good,
but requiring people to think in such terms is a screw.

That is no reason to think it isn't a problem. Others have stated
here that they find it a screw.
Those who want to think the Git way, by all means do so. But the Git
for Emacs quick start page is meant for people like me.
