Fair enough. I am happy about the tool I am writing (almost finished!)
but, as the followup post makes clear, it isn't about the designe of
ppg. It is about the design of git.

I am really surprised at your statement. Of course mishaps can happen,
or someone can mess up configuration DNS royally. But setting up a
primary and secondary setup is trivial.

SMTP and LDAP are also examples where resilience was baked into the
design. With those two, the quality of implementation, and
complications in setup make for a lot more breakage.

Compare to HTTP, databases etc where there's a whole industry of tools
to make things somewhat reliable.

Maybe we are talking about different things.

What is the loss of functionality you see? Anything that you use in practice?
