Given that, it would be only fair to raise the same objections again. Condensing the old thread to a bare minimum, these questions seem to be open (though answered, one might say): - What ssh+git: problems does gits: address? - What tells us these are solved by gits:? - What tells us there are no gits: problems which ssh+git: would solve? Frankly, so far I see no tests, no benchmarks, one author convinced by his own code, and seemingly nobody willing to really look a the patches. Michael
