Well... ;-) in any case, I suspect some of the semantics cogito uses are starting to break... it's kinda-supported-but-legacy. So I think we need these niceties in core git for large projects. Right now we have an explosion of ways of doing things, and many of them error-prone. The basic idioms should be simple and fool-proof. > With the talk about making more things built-in...
