So how do I get rid of The Ribbon and make Word look sane again?
Get in your time pod and go back to 2003.

This entire post reads like it's from Hyperbole and a Half.

You can add the files to the index and commit the index to the repository.
Right, because a git respository is a versioned collection of snapshots of the index. It is not a versioned collection of files.
People who skipped over this particular piece of git 101 will probably remain confused unless they're flexible enough to work it out for themselves.

Speaking of terribly named features, I was just trying to do a Blame on a TFS repository. Turns out the command is "Annotate"
Annotate means "add notes to", not "see who changed what and when". Am I missing an archaic meaning here?

Let's just all be happy and realize that none of you are stuck with RTC like me.

Annotate means "add notes to", not "see who changed what and when". Am I missing an archaic meaning here?I've always interpreted that as "annotating the file" with information about who changed what and when.
-
I'd say annotate implies I'm adding the annotation, which sounds like permanently modifying it with supplementary notes or something
-
no same word, same meaning. TFS's annotate uses a different actor than every other VCS.
in every other VCS the actor in the annotate is the developer. in TFS it's TFS.
when you annotate TFS adds notes to the document you ran annotate on. usually that's just user, revision, and checkin comment

“Annotate” is quite common among VCSes. In Git, Mercurial and SVN it’s an alias for “blame” (or the reverse, I’m not sure).
It doesn’t make much sense, but thinking about it “blaming” a repository doesn’t make sense either...

There's no sense in fighting they that won't listen.
First you fight them, then you ridicule them, then you ignore them, then you win.

I don't TFS, but when you
svn log
/hg log
/git log
are you similarly confused because you're not actively logging an event?
-

i think i'm in stage 3 of that sequence right now.
at least with this one.
maybe?

It helps if you're fighting someone as civilized and restrained as the Brits.
-

It makes sense when you think about it as "who is to blame for this line in the source?"
-

My main source control experience is with Tortoise SVN, which has the "view log" option. If the menu item was "log" then I would get a bit confused, yes. I'm not saying I want to log something, I'm saying I want to view the log

I think you might have mistaken my recommended strategy for dealing with terrorists for Gandhi's apocryphal (and, incidentally, exactly opposite) strategy for dealing with colonizers. If so, I claim my whoosh.

I did (I was aware of its apocryphal nature, BTW).
dealing with terrorists
Like, real terrorists? Or people who are wrong on the internet?

When they're in charge, I'll agree.
Which is worse for your guys, when their team wins or loses. Ours are usually only a problem when their team wins (though this applies more to basketball than football).

Reminds me of a time when I left this comment in our codebase:

No--that's when the AC fails.

Never do that--then you go outside and it snows. I saw that happen once.
