What would you consider uber-hardcore?
4 comments

Being able to give a list of weaknesses in something like git, a sensible discussions of the pro/cons of the approach taken by git, a comparison with the behaviors of other systems (with their pros and cons) and some idea for potentially improving it.
With the ubiquity of DVCSes and Github etc, I don't think there is an uber-hardcore level in source control. "Has used git etc in a team setting" is the closest I can find.
Implementing git.
That's well above the "O(log n)" level from the rest of the list. After all, "algorithms O(log n)" is not "you are Knuth".
Being proficient with git. That's on an entirely different level than just knowing how to use it.
