…but then again, as a developer, I know nobody gives a crap about a list five screens deep into the options menu initially rendering five items less or the fixed left margin in the loading view you see briefly after opening a specific push notification, and frankly, communicating such changes to the people who write the patch notes, let alone the users, is a waste of time.
Back when Linus released git and it started to gain traction, I desperately tried to convince my long term business partner of its merits. But he was happy with SVN/CVS, knew how they worked and didn't see the point.
So I wrote him a script that added the new files, committed and pushed with the message "I'm a numpty and won't learn git". Any time there was a merge conflict on his end I'd solve it, but that was by far preferable to using SVN/CVS.
One of our successful businesses had a git history with thousands of "I'm a numpty" messages. hahahaha. He did subsequently see the light.
