One could argue that I was somewhat careless in my first reply to you as
I actually wrote something about you (namely, "that's your opinion but
not mine") which sort-of solicitated an angry retort. However, stating
that "a source code management system" or - better term here - "version
control system" should simply store whatever someone desires to store
in, just like - say - a filesystem, is certainly not a personal remark.
