You do not have a sense of humor, do you? And you elided the paragraph where I said that I haven't contributed anything to git so far. :-/

Where did I say that I'm not interested in git? If I weren't I wouldn't have been reading this mailing list since it was first created. The reason I don't use git is a lack of time. Professionally I usually have no need to use git since my employer doesn't use it. On my own time, I haven't even had time and energy to switch away from CVS, even though I ought to have done that years ago. I dabble a bit with git, mercurial, org bitkeeper (or did at least) when I need to access something out on the net which is stored in such a repository, but I haven't switched any of my projects over to using anything else.

I'm definitely interested in git, and it's interesting to read the mailing list to see where git is going. And I'd definitely like git to move in a direction where it's usable for me, or even better, where I can recommend it to my (often Windows-only) colleagues.

And once again you cut out the part where I said that git is Junio's baby, he decides what goes into the main git tree, and if he says 8 wide hard tabs, that it is. I haven't argued against that at all. So I'm wondering why you are trying to project things I haven't said on me.

             involved in one?)
