I just dug it up; start from here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/123350/focus=123541 read on a few messages downthread, and then jump to the other thread Nana points at in the above message. In short, we started warning that we _might_ change the default someday, without having a clear concensus or plan, that ended up confusing and annoying users without giving them anything good, other than awareness that such a feature is _available_. So no, the conversation did not decide if changing the default was warranted or not. It just confirmed that we weren't anywhere close to deciding back then.
