RE: [ANNOUNCE] Git v2.0.0

This is the last mail I sent to you, because you ignore them anyway, and remove them from the mailing list.

I'm am cc'ing the git-fc mailing list so there's a public track record of this, so you can't claim it didn't happen.

This is a lie. You are saying they don't exist any more, but they do exist, they "graduated" according to your same words.

Also, in mail [1] Jeff said:

  But that being said, this is Felipe's code. While we have a legal
  right to distribute it in v2.0, if he would really prefer it out for
  v2.0, I would respect that.

To which you agreed, however, after you fucked up v2.0 and removed an important patch, I said I changed my wish that I didn't want to disturb v2.0 in mail [2], a mail you conveniently removed from the tracked record.

In mail [3] you acknowledged my wish, and you said you were going to put stubs for v2.0, and you didn't. You also conveniently removed this mail from the archives.

Your rhetoric to make it appear as if the code is gone, your repeated failures to accomplish my wish, even you said you would, and your deliberate removal of the relevant discussion gives me no choice.

I threat all this as deliberate acts of aggression, and I will respond as I said I would, and bring as much public attention to what you are doing as possible.

No, I already said I do not want the code removed from v2.0, that's why I sent patches that simply added a warning, and I specifically said those were for 2.0.

However, after seeing this commit:

10e1fee (Revert "Merge branch 'fc/transport-helper-sync-error-fix'")

Which is:

 1) Inaccurate
 2) A lie (*you* broke 2.0, not me)
 3) A disservice to users

I therefore change my wish for you to remove all the remote helpers code and a replace them with stubs (the patches I originally sent for post-2.0).

It was a mistake from me to believe you would do the sensible thing for 2.0.

So to make it clear, I now request that you do:

 1) Remove all the code.

    Since my patches were removed from the list, here's an updated patch
    that applies on top of 'master'

    https://github.com/felipec/git/commits/up/remote/remove

 2) Reapply d508e4a (Merge branch 'fc/transport-helper-sync-error-fix')

    Since the code in question is no longer part of v2.0, a "possible
    regression" that you aren't even sure of cannot be the rationale to
    revert this code.

    Your commit 10e1fee (Revert "Merge branch
    'fc/transport-helper-sync-error-fix'") actively hurts the
    out-of-tree tools, so I'll consider a failure to re-revert a hostile
    action.

 3) Update the release notes to mention these tools have been removed

  Additionally, you might want to:

 4) Re-add the following release note:

    * "git push" via transport-helper interface (e.g. remote-hg) has
      been updated to allow forced ref updates in a way similar to the
      natively supported transports

    I don't know why you removed it in the first place. Clearly you pay
    no attention at all to these interfaces.

I expect you to do at the very least 1) and 2).
