This is not the kernel mailing list.  In fact this list is quite 
friendlier and accommodating that the kernel list.

The remark alluded above comes from _one_ of the git developers.  And 
Dscho is apparently in a rather sad mood these days. While the substance 
of Dscho's remark is entirely pertinent, it would be wrong to use its 
form and style as a characterization of git developers in general.
