Pointing out flaws without detailing them isn't very useful.
Arcanist is not a Git wrapper - you can (and should) use Git normally. All Arcanist does is automate the process of creating and uploading patches, and applying remote patches.
- vemv 8y agoWell I cannot recall every intricacy about a tool I don't care about anymore. Simply an experience report from a reasonably reputed HN member. The `arc` command did rewrite my branches, ruin my revisions or otherwise do something buggy a handful of times, particularly with `arc update`.

- ianamartin 8y agoPointing out flaws without going into a lot of detail isn't very good practice if you're trying to offer helpful criticism in a feature request, a bug report, or generally trying to work with the team to improve it. It's completely fine and quite useful for someone to say that their experience was bad with a tool in general on an internet thread about the tool in general.
- rimliu 8y agoIt calls git under the hood how it is not a wrapper? It also alows to create branches, not just manage patches.
