Poe's Law strikes again. Half the commentators don't get the joke.


Perhaps you could let us in on the joke?


This very complex "simple" explanation of Git is funny because Git is rumored to have a steep learning curve, and the Git documentation is very heavy on theory and models.

It is also a bit funny because a lot of educated readers will try to make sense of the explanation, but the explanation is utter nonsense and has nothing to do with how Git works.


You left a layer of the joke: in order to be sure that the explanation is nonsense, you have to understand mathematical concepts that are much more complicated than git's architecture.


In short: git isn't anywhere near as complicated as some seem to think?
