I just thought there was a certain irony. Perhaps even a lesson to be learned - find out why someone has chosen (even with git in front of them and deep enough inside to find bugs in it), not to use git. I think there is a usability lesson to be pulled from this situation. Why didn't Eygene just say: $ tar zxvf git-tarball.tgz $ cd git $ git init $ vim http-push.c $ git diff Note, that was not an attack on Eygene - I genuinely am interested to know where we should put the documentation that tells a new user what they need to know quickly. Somehow, git has failed this person. I was simply wondering in what way. However, Eygene's response made it sound like a situational thing - it was inconvenient to actually install git. Fair enough.
