>Git's user interface
When I encountered git back in 2006, I was kinda surprised at the choices of git's commands & arguments, it didn't seem nearly as nice as SVN's command-line interface. But git did win out for being usable locally & the sheer speed.
I kinda hoped the command-line interface would get revamped w/ better command names & better argument structure, but that never happened I guess.
- rstuart4133 3y agoLinux seemed to loath svn with a passion. I really some comment from him like "they simply don't get it". With the benefit of hindsight, he was right. But he did throw the baby out with the bath water. They got the data structures wrong, the overall concept skew whiff (a commit is the code at a point in time; how you got there is just meta data), but the higher level interface wasn't bad. He could have done worse than to base the porcelain command names on svn.
