Great project, but not perfect. |

My main feeling is that it exposes too much mechanism and in the wrong |
|
8 |
ways. For example, hashes are all very well for representing |
|
9 |
identity, but I don't want to see them; I just want to say "r43 of |
|
10 |
this branch". |

Cryptographic signing is good for making sure revisions are really |
|
13 |
what they claim to be, but I don't want to directly deal with it: I |
|
14 |
want it as a check that things are really happening as they should |
|
15 |
be. It should be barely seen and not heard unless/until something |
|
16 |
goes wrong. |
