Dear diary, on Fri, May 05, 2006 at 08:15:41PM CEST, I got a letter where Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> said that...

I should have revised this paragraph before sending the mail out, I ended up sorting out my thoughts on the subject as I wrote the mail. The two aspects end up so tied that it makes sense to mingle them. Examining them separately here still hopefully shed some light on possible reasoning behind the Git design decisions.
