Linus, in my kitchen, surrounded by impressed women who were asking how he lost weight. He had just answered the question
"did you give up drinking" with a "hell, no!"

ZFS guys (Brian, Jeff and Bill) at the same party (I thought I had one with Linus and them, they were all at the same table talking file systems):

Funny story, I invited Linus to the pig roast and he didn't RSVP so there wasn't anywhere for him to sleep. I ended up sticking him and his daughter in a VW popup van :)
You can kindly wander off now, random internet dude. Especially since the guy who wrote Git agrees that it is lossy, so take your FUZZY and go home.
Demonstrate it. You said it was demonstrable so presumably your Totally Sane SCM project should have evidence to back this up.
>Arguing with some random dude who thinks he knows more than me is not really fun.
Why because you basically made a complete fool of yourself?
>Even Linus admitted to me in my kitchen that Git's audit trail is lossy.
You might describe it as FUZZY, but not "lossy." Nothing is being "lost." My random internet dude that is actually an insane assertion to make, especially the anecdote about Linus being in your god damn kitchen. Not that it really changes anything about the characteristics of any SCM and why people use it.
>But go enjoy Git, I'm glad it works for you.
Enjoy your dead project. Glad it could be surrounded by a graveyard of other Totally Sane (C) SCM's who are collectively responsible for an untold amount of wasted man hours and licensing fees.
