I have had patches and contributions rejected in the past, sometimes rudely. Same has happened to many others, if you contribute long enough, it is pretty much guaranteed that it will happen to you. Maintainer is wrong, or you are wrong, or someone is just having a bad day.This is not about a couple of patches I worked in a weekend being rejected. This is about the work I've been doing since the past two years almost like a full-time job dropped to the floor with no explanation at all. I started with the expectation that they were going to move to the core, because Junio said so, then he changed his mind and didn't want to explain his reasoning. It's not just a bad day.Here are two posts where Junio and Michael Haggerty explain the reasoning to you: - http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/248727 - http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/248693 Basically, in your case it boils down to your social manners.
You are not paying attention at all. Junio did *not* use my social manners as a reason to block the graduation, nor the quality of the code, he used a *TECHNICAL* reason. Prior to his decision there were no complaints about my "manners" since I returned. It was his *TECHNICAL* decision that triggered this. Junio never explained his *TECHNICAL* reason, and Michael Haggerty simply said "there are good technical arguments for and against moving git-remote-hg out of contrib", that was all his explanation for the *TECHNICAL* reason. You, and other people, are using the behavior I displayed *AFTER* Junio made his *TECHNICAL* decision as the cause for his decision not to graduate. That's a wrong direction fallacy. -- Felipe Contreras
