I guess there was SCM Software before Bitkeeper, so your are "cloning" other people concepts yourself. (At least in the beginning.) When you count every lego-brick in the software, how many of them are "original" (=100% invented by Bitmover. Including the ideas. Excluding the ones that you only weren't aware of existing)? 0.01%? Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
