And neither do centralized systems like Subversion. Choice is good. However... I found some passages troubling for Git, e.g.: ---snip--- Git is so amazingly simple to use that APress, a single publisher, needs to have three different books on how to use it. It’s so simple that Atlassian and GitHub both felt a need to write their own online tutorials to try to clarify the main Git tutorial on the actual Git website. It’s so transparent that developers routinely tell me that the easiest way to learn Git is to start with its file formats and work up to the commands. ---snap--- We have heard this sort of feedback for years. But we have been unable to adequately write our own documentation or clean up our man pages to be useful to the average person who doesn't know why the --no-frobbing option doesn't disable the --frobinator option to the --frobbing-subcommand of git frob. :( http://git-man-page-generator.lokaltog.net/ shouldn't exist and shouldn't be funny. Yet it does. :( -- 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
