Sorry, but I had to think of this:


https://xkcd.com/1597/


The project was announced a while back in the quarterly status report =
(that=E2=80=99s the first time I read about it at least).

It=E2=80=99s obviously a huge undertaking, the people taking part in it =
should be commended, not ridiculed (IMO).

For people who don=E2=80=99t have much exposure to git, it can be very =
obnoxious.=20

Though these days, a lot of people assume git=3Dgithub and the GUI there =
certainly makes things easier.

If it wasn=E2=80=99t completely riddled with security-holes, I would =
recommend the project to run its own gitlab instance - but for a project =
this size, you=E2=80=99d be looking at a FTE just herding that bag of =
cats and constantly upgrading it=E2=80=A6
