Imagine you did have an idea, put a lot of effort building it, just so that some random person takes a dump on your work. It wouldn't be nice, would it?

Unnecessarily harsh and misses the point that this is a new VCS that brings valid new ideas to table. As with any new thing, if it's not for you, it's not for you.

SBArbeit, ignore this kind of comment. Not because it's not valid feedback, but because it isn't worth it.

Thank you. <3 I do ignore them.

There's no way to build something with an intention as big as "replace Git" that won't invite knee-jerk reactions.

I know I'm building the thing that aligns with my creative and technical vision. That's all I can do. It will succeed or it won't, and the reactions from people who are already super-comfortable with the existing technology matter less than the reactions from people who only understand the basics of Git and are afraid of it. I'm building it for them (which includes me).
