How hard is it to understand the notion of "people just don't _care_
enough"?
Look at CVS. Look at three _decades_ of CVS. Then look at the
"identifiers" that thing used.
Git is much better. Git is better for two reasons:
- We allow/encourage people to use way more meaningful identifiers
- Exactly _because_ what we use is meaningful to people, most people
bother to try.
And you don't seem to understand that whole "meaningful" part. If you
don't have the social understanding of how people actually _work_, then
nothing I say can explain it.
Let me try one more time: do the statistics on "committer information" vs
"author information" on the Linux kernel repository, and count the types
of errors that happen. I can explain the errors and why they happen, and
it has everything to do with how _humans_work_ (*).
If you don't understand that, then there's no point in arguing.

(*) I'll give you one answer in the next email. But before you read that
email, try to think about it, and see if you can guess at patterns.
