#8 [1:09:49] "The git mailinglist:[..] very pleasant"
Linus tells us that the git mailinglist is generally a very pleasant mailing list even though he acknowledges that occasionally there are flame wars.
Where is the mailing list archive?
Is there evidence in this archive of these flame wars? What are they about?
There are a Git mailing liste here: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git
I didn't find how to do a search only on the Git mailing list on this site. But anyway, there is an example of a "flame war" on that website: http://kerneltrap.org/OpenBSD/Home_to_Hypocrisy
The mailing List archive could be found on MARC( The Mailing list ARChives (MARC)). It is an RDBMS (MySQL, to be exact) driven database of mailing list messages, viewable and browsable by list, thread, author, or searchable via a full-text search engine. Its interface is no-frills but highly functional, designed to be useable even over slow links or with text-only browsers like lynx.
we can find it at : http://marc.info/?l=git
By searching for some official GIT mailing list i was directed to http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git
GMANE seems to be a service which orders and keeps mailing lists. Folowing the link you should be able to choose which presentation you prefer for the actual GIT mailing list.
To be honest, I'm not familiar at all with mailling list and GMANE seems to be awfully complicated or at least not user-friendly at all. By clicking on "other mailing list archives", I was able to reach what i think is an archive similar to what najosf linked :
http://www.mail-archive.com/git@vger.kernel.org/
As with every flame war, what i undestood by reading some of the emails is that people feel like their interlocutor believes that he's right and so he acts arrogantly or, some individuals take advantage of discussions about GIT to underline how other developers using other solutions and other applications are stupid. The other way around works too, some people will claim that GIT is just a slightly modified version of a competing source management system which will start a discussion between defenders of GIT and those who attack it.
I think it's very hard to understand what they are about specifically unless you have knownledge in coding.
I dont think i can input more than what i already did. Therefore I unassign myself to get rid of the awful pressure xD If anyone knows how to browse through mailing lists and searching for specific behavior inside the mails ... you're welcome :)
