They're not trying to do anything dangerous, improvident, or harmful to others and they are trying to solve a problem that many people have and that is due to an inherent limitation in Git (its inability to rename remote branches easily[0]), so there's no reason to respond in this way. There is a difference between being firm and steadfast, such as when responding to someone who repeatedly advocates an inadvisable technical approach, and being rude and sarcastic, especially to someone who is genuinely trying to improve things, and I think this crosses the line. I'd appreciate it if we could aim to avoid the latter type of response and not scare off new participants to the community right away. I realize I also sometimes fall short of where I should be in terms of kindness on the list and elsewhere, but I hope we'll all endeavor to do better here. [0] Regardless of how you feel about this _particular_ rename, one would want the ability to do this to preserve reflogs for _all_ remote renames, and so this would be a valuable and desirable feature to have in Git anyway. --=20 brian m. carlson (he/him or they/them) Houston, Texas, US --ndiC/Nj9J6ddTH75 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.2.27 (GNU/Linux) iHUEABYKAB0WIQQILOaKnbxl+4PRw5F8DEliiIeigQUCYIRiSAAKCRB8DEliiIei gZRCAP9zxJjt+MAkeppfuJAN9bDKR2vvNyar0mdkr7KfhQjivQEA9s6wsM/0xGlX 9G4INrK4cxtCRHRy/JHWgcvPdvn8Lwo= =xWWT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ndiC/Nj9J6ddTH75--
