I totally agree with that. Git's flexibility is great. In practice, I can synthesize the functionality I want. Unless a merge is fairly straight forward, I often use --no-commit and only select the files I want to merge, and defer a complete merge for later. It is so easy to make intermediate branches, or just pick what I want from one branch to another. I haven't used Darcs or Pijul, but I feel like trying to "solve" merging and source code isn't fully possible.

> Git's flexibility is great. In practice, I can synthesize the functionality I want. Not if the functionality you want a patch-based system, which is just so much easier to use. After 30 years or so experience of using revision control systems with distributed projects, I can't see the appeal of git.
