That's nice, but most of us here are version control consumers, not version control professionals. We need something that has very few knobs to turn because our job is focused around delivering value through other tasks.
Git is highly professionalized. It has layers of modal state. That is built into the operating model. It is made for Linus Torvalds, a professional merger of code. If you are using all of those commands "almost daily", you are a professional code-merger too.
- lugged 5y agoThis is such a strange attitude to source control as a developer. It's literally the most important tool a developer will use second only to an editor. And again, maybe git is the wrong tool for you, that was kind of my point, use cvs or svn it's much closer to what you seem to want.
