In particular, I predict that VCSes will increasingly converge on supporting exactly the set of abstractions in a fast-import stream. Theyre a good enough set, and being interoperable will prove a powerful lure." So I hate it already. I have not yet studied the "set of abstractions" in a git fast-import stream, but it is so obviously another glorious opportunity to make the universal computing mistake of doing the wrong thing because it is convenient. There is far too much suppression of innovation because people expect the new (e.g. fossil) to behave like the old. I have no objection to a conversion aids, but will everyone remember that a critical feature of any software anywhere in the VCS/SCM/whatever niche is that it should always tell the truth?
