Ok point taken.
Paul - I'm happy for wherever you decide to host your code. I'm fine with Github
or Gitlab or if you want to keep hosting it yourself.
I'm just happy with the work you have done on this project. It's great to have
DECnet support on a modern platform.
Cheers, Wiz!!

I do not think that longer discussions about git are appropriate to have
on this list. Sorry for starting this... Paul asked about feedback on
switching to git. I just gave a small one-liner, half for fun. I totally
do not like git, but if we really want to talk about the why behind it,
we should find some other venue for that discussion.

I'm not sure what the hate here is.
Git was written by Linus Torvalds in reaction to how bad all of the other
distributed version-control systems at the time were.
At an earlier stage the Linux kernel development team were using
BitKeeper, but
BitKeeper pulled their free community license after Tridge
reverse engineered some of the BitKeeper protocols.
Linus was very unhappy with all of the other solutions available that didn't
meet his criteria, so he created Git.
It's now become the number one version control system.
So what exactly is it that people are disliking?
Cheers, Wiz!!

Any feedback on that idea?
