I so appreciate you answering questions here!
I've experienced how Git's lack of file rename makes it hard to follow changes through directory and file reorganization. This made me reluctant to reorganize, as I learned the problem space. The general, long-term impact may be increased ossification pressure.
OTOH linus's content addressable system is absurdly, compellingly simple, and does 90%. It's disproportionately simple. A dilemma!
BTW I think many companies get killed that way. Refusing revenue to profit must be pollyanna - except for github. OTOH keeping customers is how great companies get killed, according to Christensen (the innovator's dilemma).
