Re: C++ *for Git*

You know, git *is* free software.  Feel free to fork it and add all the
C++ code you want.

FWIW, I am of the opinion that Python or Ruby (or god forbid, Perl)
would have been a better choice for something like git that does lots of
text processing... furthermore, I think the exception handling, garbage
collection, and implicit object destruction provided by those languages
(and by C++, as overwrought as it is) makes any codebase easier to
understand and maintain.

But that's irrelevant: git is written in C.  That's the way it is, and
you should accept that or fork.
