If it was, you wouldn't have a blog post up about how git-fc has default aliases (and such), while git does not. You wouldn't have another post exclaiming frustration at the pace of development, and how certain contributions of yours have been ignored. Sure, a subset of your patches are being accepted, but if the ones you cared about weren't, this discussion wouldn't have even occurred. >Either way your analogy is completely wrong as I already explained >multiple times.

You propose solutions, rather than *just* calling for any solution to be accepted. I'm the meantime, the community decides that some of your proposals aren't good ideas, and decide to consider others in due course. >And I'm done discussing with you. Your comments are content-free. Only code-free. And that's because this is a people problem, Felipe, not a code problem.
