Ahh, the old "argument by blackmail" approach.
You know what? Nobody really cares. Arguing by blackmail ("we'll use
something else then") just means that you should go somewhere else. If you
cannot respond intelligently to intelligent arguments, you really *are*
better off using SVN.
All right. I didn't mean to blackmail you or any Git developer. What I
wanted to say is that Gentoo is currently using an old, brain-damaged
SCM called CVS. I would like it to use Git but Git in its current
state can not fully replace CVS regarding to Gentoo usage. To do that
Gentoo needs some changes itself but Gentoo repositories are big ones
and it's just hard to change such beast s from bottom up. So I would
like to see a compromise from Git (which, I think, does not harm other
projects from using Git) to ease the migration.
A billion flies aren't exactly wrong: crap really *is* good. If you're a
fly or a maggot.
But if you ever actually want to be something *more* than a crap eater,
come back then.
I would want to _slowly_ evolve from a crap eater to something better
because I couldn't become a non-crap eater in a flash :)
