Sorry about that, but let's not remember of the other dozens which
works on branches and can do a merge in seconds instead of literally
*hours*, and so on.
Yes, but how often do even those who work on branches a lot do merges?
If not very often, why not just start it up, background it, and go to sleep?
I don't think we can uniformly win everywhere, right now. I believe I
have already shown and spoken about many day-to-day advantages even
for people working only on mainline/release branches, and I'm sure
that people that wanted to listen have understood.
What I keep seeing are increasingly complex solutions in order to keep
efficiency the same as it is now. This is a very large distributed cost,
which can't be ignored.
