Code was written before git was invented.

Tell that to Linus.

Shit needs syntax and documentation.

Anything submitted needs to be reviewed before merge/push. Syntax and Documentation rejections don't result in errors. Get your shit right first. You are trading on someone else's rep with this.

If you want to push your own code do it with a separate pull. If you want it merged that carries responsibility to the person carrying it.

There was sccs (1973) and cvs (1986) before git.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah but you merged as you wanted, usually anyway.

Oh merging was a total crap shoot with sccs. It was better with cvs, until it wasn't and then it was very very bad.
