I don't think this does anybody any service. If the current behavior is wrong, and if users all over the Internet is any indication, it is; we do not want to continue such bad behavior. If the new functionality has a different behavior, it only makes sense to change the old behavior to make it consistent. Perpetuating bad behavior choices only hurt the users, we need to start thinking how to make git more user friendly, not worry too much about keep doing what we did five years ago. Sure, we should not break user expectations from one day to the next, but that doesn't mean we can't change anything ever. -- Felipe Contreras -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
