A comment that states the obvious? Im merely pointing out the power of the OSS hype-machine.

Like it would make sense to me if everyone who used git also used VIM, but they dont. Its a testiment to the power of the flock, that a product which gets its core functionaly so wrong, be used by so many ppl.

as for the topic at hand, if my company had invested so heavily into such a product, i would be doing everything in power to make it work. let alone if my companies core business was all in on it like github, it would be a no brainer and i cant beelive its taken so long to get the top of the backlog. looking forward to the nxt installment of hub which introduces propriority commands and see if they get treated like MS does :)




It's all about the ROI for GitHub - git works well enough for them.

If a problem in Git was causing a problem for GitHub I'm sure they'd work to fix it. Although I don't see any @github addresses in git's git.


There certainly are github employees who contribute a lot to git, but not with their github e-mail address, but with their personal address.



You realise MS uses git and github internally right?

But hey if you're a happy TFS customer then good for you...
