I can understand hating git; the UI is pretty nasty, and there is at least a colorable argument that containerlessness is a bug. I use git in spite of its defects, not because I don't know they're there. I don't understand loving bzr; my experiences with it have been unpleasant. I would be interested to hear your apologia for it. Mind you, I think opposing git adoption is like trying to stop the tide from coming in, at this point (and have my own mixed feelings about that). But I am genuinely curious about your reasons. -- Eric S. Raymond
