2014-10-24 I prefer Mercurial over git, that's no news. One thing I dislike in git are bare repos. I think that there is no need to differ between two kinds of repos that are essentially the same, just that one of them has a containing directory around it. This violates the rule of generality, unnecessarily, I think. To en- sure that users don't work in ``server'' repos, is something that could be achieved in a different way (e.g. by marking the repo as read-only) if it would be truly necessary. But splitting repos in two kinds that are essentially the same, just doesn't make sense to me.
