I used to think the future of version control was semantic: E.g. I renamed a method, while someone else concurrently added another call to that (now differently named) method. Git doesn't catch this, nor would this new system. The solu

I just wish more of these projects would be a bit more ambitious and put more focus in their communication on being good at what they do, rather than being free and made by idealists. They're branding themselves in a way that only real
