I think we'd raising the entry barrier with choosing the defaults being so convenient for us. Well, the real-life programmers are less of Unix-liking kind. They are more lazy and demotivated kind, and Git will be _forced_ on them. It almost certainly will not be their choice. Not always, some'll like it (heck, I know people who swear by Perforce!), but most have a job, source of income, and not the profession (like in professional pride).
real-life programmers? Please don't generalize. It's insulting.
As much as like Unix and everything related, I think it is not reasonable to try to change the majority. Not unless we have something earth-shattering. Well, git is, but 0001-fix....patch in email attachment probably not.
I would venture to say that the _majority_ of git users are not using Windows. In this enviroment, Linux is likely the dominant OS, followed by other *nix. So changing the extention to benefit the majorit of _git's_ users is a good thing. josh - 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
