> It seems like every other over-complicated A DAG is one of the simplest data structure out there. What is complicated is doing merges in non-DAG CVS and let's not even talk about more "complex" operations like putting all of your commits on top of a branch, only committing a single line and, god forbids, creating branches without asking for permission. > over-engineered solution to problems that should be simple I get it that you're unfamiliar with how not nice databases schemas are. A git repository from 2005 will still work in 2021. AFAIK all other CVS will fail at this because they rely the overly complicated data representation. Git's internal representation is very simple. Filesystem snapshots referred to by content and these snapshots that can reference other snapshots to form a DAG. Just because you didn't take one hour to understand this doesn't mean it's "complicated". > That said, I LOVE GitHub and gitlab. These would not have existed if not for Git's internal representation that allows the necessary flexibility for other tools and extensions to integrate directly.
