I remember that. I've been writing code since the 70's, and have lost count of the number of source code management systems I have been forced to learn. Early on they were over engineered, and a pain in the ass to learn. Then they'd go "out of fashion" and the next pain-in-the-ass over engineered nonsense was forced and learned. I resisted git FOR FUCKING EVER because i was so tired of relearning how to do the same fucking thing slightly different in some other convoluted over engineered system. But it looked like Git was going to be the forever winner, so I finally gave in and learned git through and through. Fuck now its dying!?
