It has _already_ been read with great attention, and multiple people have shown immense patience repeatedly explaining to you why the idea is stupid. Your continued trolling is really starting to grate. I've shown immense patience repeatedly explaining why these 'explanations' are strawmen or based on misunderstandings and bad assumptions. It's true that I have been receiving perfectly valid complaints. The problem is that almost all of them have nothing to do with what I've been saying because people see 'uuid' and a few examples with hex digits and then erroneously construct the rest in their heads. > The overwhelming, sustained opposition to your idea should already be enough indication that such a proposal will _never_ be accepted into the Git codebase, so right now you're just wasting people's time. I long ago gave up the notion that it would be included in the git codebase. Instead, I've been defending the idea, which is a simple but vast improvement over the current system; had it been in place since the beginning, a lot of trouble could have been reduced. Indeed, the only thing that makes this great idea a bad idea is COMPATIBILITY CONCERNS; that's it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
