No, that's just the beginning.  Almost every question asked about this
resulted in umpteen different answers.  Which one(s) to choose is
another obstacle to negotiate, and it's not always easy, because each

We had 10 months and enough git expertise to discuss this and decide
what's best.  And we wasted it.
