I know that. However, is that going to be true for all versions of the
repository format over all time? If so, the repository format is brittle.
I think one has to understand Linus' posts as coming from the
"head-down, steaming ahead for *MY* project cause you all suck"
perspective and impose corresponding filters on his declarations of
"LAW". At least that's the only way *I* can make sense of his latest
contributions.
If you get git, just do the right thing -- Linus be damned.
