There have been ideas why Git is inferior to its competitors. Yet it became the leader. The masses chose it anyway.

Yet the features and information are documented there in the manuals, when one needs. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJRWvWNAAoJEHGdadMkU5RQecMP/iedlhIGlvdZ3JKeF9wx7hzz IS5gkgalLHiTJgCcZakxIO6VSFDFqojMZw7+RUPR5MGRd9b1U599jkwUCayKXmdi khYejG3ccFYvAJRlCGdstNcswdaVgE7fqoZX0izOlCxX77UJ+QdBsSicPjaBk5DR v9FkA4odHEapIoYJnEmRfIYzQT65wI6p52JyUsSUWtryQaN2z81h/aP1Fo4GpxsP b013DynSTddAehA5M6BYxTfC6l6uXxY9jIMSgj1ycN3X0m/g1SpLltVo0GCgOUUY +xmcGoDRENXMk+CW9vfW3ekJmgnaA5yErr7PiGf1vEI8LFCaJ7Ugd8gz9dg0cJZ0 EFL3+nqTSrSYcwT6ttqTetJaC1pI3CnAIuoM0WdWMbSvgEf91kcsfWhkpC/LItBd e34idzLSaWzUHRJPOjxim7RRLAJrGDr7jUuJQJgUWKXPYG/4sFvsrcvlZgJdO4gZ e32ilOQi36cDxV1tgiKkNfTT2xJi3cT+7E6LQKSluyKL8CY75MWqAy/7JoJV5QRh Zk3YM35DZuabQUCQMBuQDaEe4dzy3XbY/iG0fiFifpfJt3Z8HKxeZxomRJZJ7LFR DN28w0gVnPN0jX8yCPGy6hKMamyskm4VUm++7/Qx9DawwO2TG0G+pPOVz/CMD3N8 lz+MOFcrhlv/YkDuQ7Wc =Ua23 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
