I didn't feel it was that way. Karl asked for opinions and I provided mine. I hope no one, including Karl, expected to hear only the YES kind of responses. I didn't ask anyone to please me, and didn't say I will stop working on Emacs if it did switch. > Maybe Eli if you could suggest an alternative to bzr > (that is not Git, which you hate) people would be open > to your suggestions? I don't see the need. Either we switch to git or we don't, it's that simple. No one will switch to anything else. > I for one would be open to using another dVCS as long > as it makes current contributors happier and allows to > get more contributions. As someone else said, git sucked all the oxygen there was, so here we are. As for more contributions, I hope you are right, but I have my doubts.
