On: Love in GIT

[lemming]

There's a joke in here somewhere about trying to make babies with a makefile, I'm sure of it. That's great build functionality!

In good relationships, as in Makefiles, you have to give each other space, but it has to be the right kind.

You also have to have clearly defined ground rules, and it helps to have contingency plans for unexpected events.

In the event the relationship receives a SIGHUP, you can only hope that it terminates gracefully- nobody likes a zombie relationship that's waiting on closure() that will never return due to the sudden absence of /dev/love.
