> I think it's fairer to say that we don't think a data repository is any place for lies of any sort, even white lies. I, too, wish this extreme hyperbole would be just left out of the discussion completely. It is offputting, and I think it's intentionally a bad faith argument, it fails to acknowledge the utility, the design intent, and the context behind rebase, which has been talked about at length by Linus and others. When rebase is used as designed, according to the golden rule, it's not modifying published history, so it's not "lying". Whether rebase has safety problems is a separate issue from whether it's use as designed amounts to being "dishonest". I'm all in favor of improved design choices, and if Fossil is making those better design choices, let them stand on their own without intentionally denigrating git and every user of git through utter exaggeration.
