Have you been eating wild mushrooms, or something? Whatever you
may say about git, simple it is most certainly not. Fast, maybe
(though Mercurial is comprable), written in C, yes (though
Mercrial's code is simpler), made of a collection of binaries
(less and less) rather than plugins, alright. Simple? No. Not
simple. Not by any standard simple, except perhaps by that of
CVS. Have some ipecac and ask again.
