I was recommended Richard Hipp – Git: Just Say No (youtube.com) last night on the excellent #oggcastplanet channel on freenode.
I didn't listen to all of it, but I'm putting this out there with the material I have, because anything else would be procrastination and this is HPR. We Want Shows!
Here are his criticisms, or suggested enhancements, top 10:
I think the killer of these is #2, the rest are nitpicks or incorrect. And for addressing #2 there is the very interesting gitless report and project, which I'm guessing doesn't abandon git entirely, just reworks the UI, which does need rework. Not for people like me, who already learned the nooks and crannies and make productive use of several of what might be misfeatures, but to lower the threshold for people coming to our software projects and whatever other source code we are managing.
TL;DL:
git log
and less
does the job, even for the oldest git project – git.git serve
sucks, use gogs.gl
