Re: denying branch creation in a shared repository

Many of us get lots[1] of mail per day, and have no time nor will to
scroll around in the message reading long (untrimmed) quoted parts
that are out of order, let alone click around in the corresponding
thread to remember the context.  If you want your mail to be read, you
should take some time to make it *easy* to read on its own.

I forgot and I apologise unreservedly. I am in a similar position on
other projects although we use web forums which makes it easier. I
certainly don't want to get into that argument though. I struggle a
great deal to be nice to people who haven't made any kind of effort to
even ask a sensible question so I do understand. The challenge is to
think someone is stupid yet to manage a polite, constructive and
non-arrogant reply (or just say nothing if you can't). At least web
forums have emoticons - a smiley fixes everything!!

Gentlemen... keep up the good work. Even an idiot like me thinks that
git is a fantastic project. It has saved me hours of pain and effort.
