Learning Git would be an investment with a much lower cost if it wasn't so terribly obtuse.

- chris_wot 14y agoI don't see that it's obtuse. If you learn the basic concepts (as you have to do when you are a beginner to subversion or CVS) then you shouldn't have much of an issue.
- chris_wot 14y agoNow why would that be voted down? Obtuse means "mentally slow or emotionally insensitive", so that could hardly have been what was meant. I assume that by "obtuse" you meant "hard to understand". So I stand by my comment that if you learn the basics then it shouldn't be that hard to understand!
- yb66 14y agoActually, like most words, there is more than one meaning. From the OSX dictionary, after the first listed meaning: > difficult to understand : some of the lyrics are a bit obtuse. It also sounds a lot like 'abstruse', which has the correct meaning and no other. Sorry, but if you're going to be pedantic you'd better be right!
- chris_wot 14y agoyb66 - you are hellbound. Not sure why the OS X dictionary would consider obtuse to be the same as abstruse (that's wrong!), but at least I now know what is really meant. Which is what I had assumed was actually meant (if you followed my original comment, then that's what I said!).
