What's natural is different for different people. Web interfaces are not natural for me, to the contrary, for me they appear constrained. > You can't do _that_ with plain Git. Github isn't plain git either. I'm perfectly fine with git and email, your requirments might differ from mine. /// I don't know about github, but I wouldn't be surprised if their rules would be something that I wouldn't accept. You might be more liberal in what you tolerate from 3rd parties.
