This is obviously not a real statistic, and poor wording on my part. It
was meant to summarise the justification that I gave in the parent
mail; that justification was certainly up to discussion, and it turns
out I was wrong.
Which leaves us with the other suggestion of the previous patch, that
others have discussed. Now that we have the maintainer's opinion, this
is also settled.
Anyway, it's easy to get into subjective arguments on usability, and
I'll be more careful about this. Which shouldn't prevent us from
improving git usability.
