In 15+ years of using Git, I have not had a single crash. What problem are you solving???

A feature complete, reentrant, linkable library. Reading the article often helps with questions like this.

The pro-user license (GPL).

I've seen plenty of crashes over the years. Primary in one private repo where gc and pruning triggered unexpected exits for a fixed duration of time.

That said, stability overall has been nothing short of fantastic. And I can't answer the question of "why?" for this particular rewrite.

This is a problem with people with LLM psychosis who now think they have superpowers, they are completely unaware and just do things naively, they've lost all ability to think for themselves. The LLMs that are thinking for them certainly aren't going to tell them doing X is a bad idea, they're there to produce as many tokens as possible for their owners.
The motivation and rationale is there and was mentioned early on in the article.

I’m all for the hundreds of reasonable objections but this sort of trash mindless critique is as useless as what it denounces.
