There's nothing objective about "Nobody every (sic) agrees changes are good". If it were true, no changes would get in. Also, you don't know that any of those changes would benefit "99% of all users". It's a guess or an estimate but it's not based on anything concrete. It might be a good guess--and in this case, I think it is--but it's not a concrete fact. Don't make it sound like it is. > If you don't agree my comment is accurate, that's one thing, but > labeling it as an attack is another. Don't turn it around. A number of your patches and emails poke at the community of the Git project and you know it. It's simply not helping the situation. Your clearly a bright and motivated individual--which makes it all the more frustrating that you don't approach this differently. I even agree with your motivations for Git: I'd like to see less shell and perl involved and to see Git run faster on Windows. But I wish you'd stop with the jabs. > I would admit I was wrong if an /etc/gitconfig is indeed shipped by > default, and agree that the Git project is indeed welcome to change, > but that's not going to happen. And there it is again. Predicting the future now? Objectively and accurately?
