I certainly wasn't suggesting that it should be a requirement. I just thought
there was a certain irony. Perhaps even a lesson to be learned - find out
why someone has chosen (even with git in front of them and deep enough inside
to find bugs in it), not to use git.
I think there is a usability lesson to be pulled from this situation. Why
didn't Eygene just say:
$ tar zxvf git-tarball.tgz
$ cd git
$ git init
$ vim http-push.c
$ git diff
Note, that was not an attack on Eygene - I genuinely am interested to know
where we should put the documentation that tells a new user what they need to
know quickly.
Somehow, git has failed this person. I was simply wondering in what way.
However, Eygene's response made it sound like a situational thing - it was
inconvenient to actually install git. Fair enough.
Andy
