Ahh, the old "argument by blackmail" approach.

You know what? Nobody really cares. Arguing by blackmail ("we'll use something else then") just means that you should go somewhere else. If you cannot respond intelligently to intelligent arguments, you really *are* better off using SVN.

A billion flies aren't exactly wrong: crap really *is* good. If you're a fly or a maggot.

But if you ever actually want to be something *more* than a crap eater, come back then.
