I don't have much appetite for commentary on internet pissing matches.
However, I don't want to sound like a complete curmudgeon! I think the "What Git does right" section is a nice read.
- Xichekolas 18y agoWell I linked this page instead of the original mailing list thread for two reasons: 1. He strips all the 'pissing' out of the matches... the underlying argument got kind of bitter. 2. His commentary summarizes the important parts on one page, and points out the fundamental difference in their viewpoints. Namely, Bram was focused on making the best merge tool, whereas Linus was focused on making something so merging ends up being a small part of the larger goal of versioning the underlying content instead of just files.
