That's an awful lot of text to read that's hardly relevant for a C program. Most of it regards newbie stuff about how to handle reporting an error when you can't use a C++ exception.

You keep on claiming that but haven't proven it in any way. If you could point out a real bug I'm very, very certain it would be fixed within 24 hours.

Git is written in C, not C++. Using aspectc++ would mean requiring the use of a C++ compiler, which git doesn't require today. That's one step backwards in portability which I seriously doubt the usefulness of aspectc++ can outweigh.
Now please stop trolling and find one of these bugs you keep talking about but never showing. We've made it painfully clear to you that we're interested in realworld problems rather than potential ones, so all this "use this model for development" just reeks of concept evangelism. No real engineer likes that, which is why you're facing such massive opposition on this list.
