From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The thread reads like Git is just as awesome to use as one would suspect from the outside, even for the original target audience.
Once a user starts performing merges and trying to fix conflicts by hand, simplicity goes out the windows. It's not git, but any tree system that has to track and merge content. Same thing would happen with any other tool if the user is trying to "recreate" revisions that had bad merges.
A script called b4 was at fault but sure blame git
More like git blame amiright?!
