That's just plain not true. A idea that was good 10 or even 30
years ago may be just as good today. Ideas are good or bad because
they're good or bad, not because they're new or old. To think that
a new idea is better than an old one simply because it is new is
foolish.

That's not true, either. While basic git operations are reasonably
straightforward, anything beyond the basics is horribly obscure and
inconsistent. To paraphrase Jamie Zawinski's comment about regular
expressions:
Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know,
I'll use git." Now they have two problems.
