And those kind of people are always few. Or they are by proxy. *I* don't see that much of a problem with git pull; I can use it without trouble at this point. But I find it difficult to teach to others. My complaints about git pull/fetch/push are by proxy for about 10 other users who aren't on the mailing list but whom I interact with through Git. They don't like pull/fetch/push very much. So count my complaints 10 times. :) Ok, that's still a drop in the bucket of current Git users. But still, I'm sure there are others. I think Carl was recently talking about complaints from some Fedora folks... --
