This is the kind of nonsense that I absolutely won't stand for. Am I a less important customer than a newcomer? Hell, if anything, I'm the _more_ important customer because I spend time improving git while a newcomer makes no contribution whatsoever. In my opinion, the most important customers of git are (in this order of precedence): 1. Developers who hack on git to make it better. This means that the implementation must have a pleasing consistency, and end-user expectations of UI are secondary. For some reason, Junio seems to disagree with this. 2. Advanced users hacking on projects that demand effective use of git like linux.git and git.git, as opposed to some little project on GitHub that just accepts pull requests. 3. Newcomers. I don't develop git for newcomers. I develop git for myself, and scratch my personal itches. The most important customer to me is myself, and everyone else is secondary. That said, I don't feel strongly about this particular advice.ui issue, and Jeff/ Junio have presented a reasonably cogent argument. -- 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
