Hi Raphael

The focus in this post is on the pragmatic side of maintaining public repos. What I said is intended to be neutral and is merely discussing the impact and solution.

The quotation you included, 'they' refers to everyone (git and git host providers). I have updated it to 'everyone' to be clear.

It's disappointing that everyone didn't act in unison to make the same change. Putting the motivation behind the change aside, the result is that they have created a bit of work for users.

People should be free to express their opinion on a topic sensitive or otherwise. It just needs to be respectful. I have no issue with your comment, but you misconstrued what I said. I have no interest in discussing the why or who in this scenario. It needed to be pointed out that there is a divergence between the parties involved. All good 😀👍

Fair enough, english grammar is weird that way, it sounded like it was focused on the Git core. Sorry about that and thank you for the correction! Now it is absolutely clear what you meant and what inspired this post.

Neither do I, so it's all good :)

If I had a seal of approval, I'd give it now!
Thank you for the work you put in this post, it's very appreciated.

Lol thanks Raphael. Ya, Its just to reduce the config pain for others. I always appreciate when someone has solved something and shares a short answer to overcome it quickly.
