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.
