Re: [ros-dev] GIT mirror

[Alex Ionescu]

git scares the hell out of me -- git-filter-branch is a tool explicitly
created to allow you to *destroy* (not revert) all commits by a single
author.
I'm not saying ReactOS is a minefield of bad attitude, but I'm sure we can
all think of at least a half-dozen of instances where such a tool would've
been used (even by a committer against himself, as was actually done).

With SVN, when the author did that, we were able to undo the damage
immediately -- that's the point. Being able to destroy history data like
this is just horrible.

Best regards,
Alex Ionescu
