Anyhow, here it is: one of my users refused to touch SCMs _at all_, for
decades.  There was only one choice: have a Git branch with a purely
linear history that contains the copy of the working tree at the end of
the day, with whatever changes accumulated over the day, or no history at
all.

You know, when there is a hurdle half of the people you see cannot get
over, there are some who make the hurdle half as high, and there are
others who put more hurdles there and call it a sport.

In this case, I would have preferred to make the hurdle half as high, but
I think I just have to wait a couple of years; reality will take care of
things.

In this case, what would you have preferred to change in order to make
the hurdle half as high?
