Yeah, I can’t see how use of a —-force flag by people who didn’t know what they were doing is enough of a reason to switch to a different VCS (let alone write one). The issue was people using a tool in a way that they shouldn’t have. Which isn’t a technical problem, but a training problem. You can’t fix people problems with technology, so I’m sure there will be other footguns in this new system that someone else will figure out how to almost lose data.

Git is great in that it is flexible and powerful. But that power leaves some tools open to people who don’t know what they are doing… that’s the trade off.

(Now something that better handles non-code assets and large data files, I’d be much more willing to listen to that pitch.)
