The alternative isn't "Not your mother's version control" but rather "Not your parents' version control". Neutral should be the norm. Not a big deal, but there is a lot of subtle sexism in tech and it adds up at the end of the day.

But "Not your parents' version control" could be taken to imply that my parents used version control collectively.

My parents divorced before version control was commonplace, how dare you imply such a thing!
