> My point was: I can swap a spindle disk of the same size with an ssd of the same size and reap all the benefits without changing anything beyond that. And what does that point has to do with anything? > Yes, really. And evidence was provided by both sides and it all comes down to a judgement call, a personal estimate which feature or which mental model seems more preferrable to you. Wrong. It's not a judgement call, I mentioned specifically for which cases git branching is superior, and I constructed a challenge to show that git is superior in that case and NOBODY answered the challenge. Conversely, NOBODY provided a case for the opposite; that mercurial's branching is superior in any case. It's very simple; you can do more with git branching than with mercurial branching. Period. > Well. You do have a knack for flawed comparisons. It's like saying "Limiting yourself limiting to one tool, a screwdriver if you're trying to drive in screws is not a good decision. Completely irrelevant. You can't get out of the hasty generalization fallacy by pointing out a case in your favor. Yes, sometimes proficiency in more tools is better, but not ALWAYS. Just like yeah, in some cases black people like chicken, but not ALWAYS. > The couldn't care less about svn's need to hit the network for pretty much every operation since the central repository is inside the same gigbit LAN and will never move. Assumptions, assumptions, assumptions. > As a side note: mercurials UI is superior to git's not because it resembles svn's but for one singe major reason: It's consistent where git's is not. There have been calls for suggestions for improvement, including radical changes since years. NOBODY has ever suggested to replace 'rm' with 'remove'; it's not an issue. If you want to talk about real consistency issues, how about branches vs bookmarks vs anonymous branches. In git they are all branches.
