Is there a reason why between what I originally wrote and what you wrote here, you changed enough of the words that it no longer matches what I actually said?

No, a Git repo is not "a tree of changes" (nor is Git a "hacky diffing tool").
- RamblingCTO 3y agoJust because you frame Git to be a certain way, doesn't mean I agree with it. Define Git for me then please. Obviously we're using very different tools. Git itself, for me, manages diffs (or rather refs of diffs) as a tree. Branches are pointers. That's it. /e: and why on earth is it an algebra about publishing? As I said before, imho it's not about publishing, but about tracking. Publishing is just an aspect.

I said operations on a repo comprise an algebra of publishing. As for why? Because that's what we're talking about: the stupid content tracker. This is not disputable. > As I said before, imho it's [...] about tracking You didn't say that. And you were less than humble about what you did say.
- RamblingCTO 3y agoThank you for showing me that any time spent on talking to you is wasted. You clearly demonstrate that you have no interest in a discussion.
- cxr 3y agoAgain, not true. But discussion with you? About this? Here? Bang on—I can't see any upsides.
