I hope I won't get downvoted for this - but it looks like Git is going the C++ way - tons of very intricate details and features very few people use, that make the learning curve ever steeper.
Now, most people work with, what, 20% of git, tops? Why should we care about bloat if we don't use it? To me, there are two main issues: a. There are 3 ways if not more of doing every single logical operation; and b. The clutter makes it harder to find how to do stuff that is not trivial when you need it.
I really wish Git would be cleaned up and made more intuitive, rather than have more features and abstract more implicit behaviors.
- MAGZine 12y agoI don't think that the addition of more features "makes the learning curve even steeper". It just extends the curve a bit farther. If using these new features where key to using Git, then yes, it would make it steeper. For the 80% of people who want to just want to pull, commit, merge, push--that functionality is still there, and has even been improved in the last release.
