These really DO seem like criticisms. Particularly the hobgoblin. Given the context of the author[1] pointed out by the parent post, I think the thrust of these koans is obvious.

Personally It feels a bit dirty. I started out enjoying them, now they feel petty.

Yeah, about a third of the way through "Git Koans" I got the strong suspicion that the author was a Mercurial fan. It had potential and started out kind of amusing, but definitely felt like a bullied kid's fantasy near the end. Shame, too, as many of the author's other posts seem very well written and insightful. Eh, nobody's perfect.
