For reference, Jordi's blog: The starting paragraph should make clear why he is determined not to listen to any experience or talking point from anybody regarding git: When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for a software user to disparage a thoroughly hostile DVCS, there is no recourse but to blog about it. Thus, software diplomacy has failed, and we must face the fact that I irredeemably hate git. To prove this, let these facts be submitted to a candid world. I don't see that we have much to gain from indulging in his mission of hate here. -- David Kastrup
