On the contrary, I think you received some excellent, high-quality feedback. The process that you've been participating in over the last few days is exactly why the Git codebase is as good as it is; only the very best patches get accepted, and those which aren't "the very best" receive detailed feedback that help the submitter to turn weak patches into strong ones. The process works very well and the proof is in the pudding (the quality of the product).
