This was bound to happen. The whole world moved to git without really understanding why. First we started to make "hubs" and bless their copies of the repo. Then people will start to strip and simplify git itself. Slowly but surely they will reinvent Subversion.



Does gitless really achieve the depths of subversion? Judging by the command list it looks like to add more easily understandable commands, some maskin the originals, ethers doing something more elaborate without requiring the use of flags, etc.

(I'm definitely not going to start using this since I already know the real git, but I can understand where it is coming from)


gitless is just as expressive as git though. It's just a better interface with less state. Nor is it new. Check out their research paper.


It's not. They removed staging and haven't implemented all the features and flags the git CLI has.
