This is the right approach.
Since everyone just stepped on to use git without thinking, "Because Linux uses it", we have to endure the pain of unfriendliness of git and it's already like S3 where if you want to start any competing project, it has to be git compatible to even get started.
I suppose there are SubGit, hg-git, bzr-git trying to keep their respective version control while facing git on the other end.
Somehow people miss these messages and projects like Bazaar got ran over by git for no good reason.
> We take great pride in making Bazaar easy to learn, easy to use and suitable for everyone, not just elite hackers.
> Ease of use is a core value for Bazaar and there are many places where our focus on usability shines though.

I thought people were looking for tools with this philosophy.
- theamk 5y agoI remember using git when everyone in my org was still on svn, using git-svn extension. I did not care who used it -- I just wanted lightweight branches with easy rebase/amend. Keeping all the extra checkouts, old copies and .diff files around was getting annoying. Today, all the VCSs offer more-or-less the same set of features (Fossil being somewhat an exception in that regard). But in the past, there were quite a lot of differences. A lot of arguments for git were very technical.
