I don't think it's silly to note your concern, I think it's silly to put a fair amount of effort into a campaign for its removal, which is what you are doing. If new points can be made, fair enough, but so far it seems mainly a lot of back and forth stating the same things over and over. > I believe that it's because of things like this that many users > still consider git to be complicated and hard to use.
