Have you used git much? Sure, it's nice. Have you tried it when it hits 6 gbyte size as we have here, and repo is filled with binaries, not just source? It gets rather slow. At least for us. Also, as has been pointed out, it is not unsurprisingly optimized to Linux. MacOS users complain to me that it doesn't do well on MacOS. Finally, the tools! git git-get-tar-commit-id git-read-tree git-add git-grep git-rebase git-add--interactive git-gui git-rebase--interactive git-am git-hash-object git-receive-pack git-annotate git-http-fetch git-reflog git-apply git-http-push git-relink git-archimport git-imap-send git-remote git-archive git-index-pack git-repack git-bisect git-init git-repo-config git-blame git-init-db git-request-pull git-branch git-instaweb git-rerere git-bundle gitk git-reset git-cat-file git-log git-revert git-check-attr git-lost-found git-rev-list git-checkout git-ls-files git-rev-parse git-checkout-index git-ls-remote git-rev-tree git-check-ref-format git-ls-tree git-rm git-cherry git-mailinfo git-send-email git-cherry-pick git-mailsplit git-send-pack git-citool git-merge git-shell git-clean git-merge-base git-shortlog git-clone git-merge-file git-show git-commit git-merge-index git-show-branch And it all seemed so simple in the early days. Why not just understand and fix replica, instead of throwing stones? What's the point? To replace actual coding with verbiage? The part that confuses me most is that, IIRC, you were extolling the virtues of venti a few days ago (with which I agree), particularly that it is "rock solid" (true). But the current problem was a venti outage. Conclusion: stuff happens. When stuff happens, bugs are exposed. Bugs can be fixed. Erik's already proposed one fix, let's get more. ron
