While I might agree, and the top x% of the students would get that, x is far smaller than any of us would like (probably 30% or less). I further can't afford a week of lectures to nail down the concept of SCMs. The largest course that I use fossil for has 160 students - with a wide range of competencies - and covers 4 very different programming languages in 12 weeks. There is no time for nuance in SCM details. Unfortunately. (If someone made me god, or gave me a magic wand, I would make the world very different in many ways... including making SCMs and TDD intuitive concepts for all humans, or at least all who would become programmers. :-) ../Dave
