Sorry, but this is not even close to a valid argument that the set of
possible push actions to a Git repo is uncountable.  In fact, it's quite
easy to prove that the set is countable.  Any mathematician will know this.

I'll also note that the Cantor-style diagonalization argument, which you
have repeatedly claimed to have, is still nowhere to be found.  To make
matters worse, you gaslit me earlier by claiming that I was failing to
see it in your earlier message, when it's clearly not there.  If you
have such an argument, you're apparently unwilling to share it with us.
