[ snip ] When I first looked at Git source code two things struck me as odd: 1. Pure C as opposed to C++. No idea why. Please don't talk about portability, it's BS. 2. Brute-force, direct string manipulation. It's both verbose and error-prone. This makes it hard to follow high-level code logic. - Dmitry
