I didn't take it personally, and my comments werent personally directed at you either. But look at the first comment on http://benno.id.au/blog/2011/10/01/git-recursive-merge-broken This user lost actual data because of a straight bug in git: yet the first response to his complaints is "you are doing it wrong". This seems to be the prevailing attitude with git fanatics. I can really identify with the guy who posted that: really version control should be something you just trust to work correctly and not lose your data. As far as git being better, to me it doesnt matter. The only reason i'd want to move to it here is because its more popular for new contributors. Otherwise, i dont really care, because i version control takes up like 0.0001% of my day and its not important that it have tons of fancy features. I simply want it to continue taking 0.0001% of my day: investing a ton of time into learning git's intricacies is like investing a ton of time in learning how your microwave oven works: for me, who cares, i just want it to work. Its definitely not important to me that it be a distributed VC when the development at apache seems to be centralized anyway: that advantage doesn't seem to bring much to the table here. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
