1 Wasting way too much time on msysGit
3 I recently got into the bad habit of spending a large amount of my waking
4 hours working on msysGit, more than is really healthy for me.
6 For example, I spent the whole morning -- when I should have worked on a
7 very important day-job project -- on trying to fix issue 258, where
8 ''git web--browse'' does not work as expected because of quoting issues
11 This is reducing my Git time budget to negative numbers, so much so that I
12 cannot even work on Git projects that I actually like, such as ''jgit diff''
13 or ''git rebase -i -p'', or at least projects I felt obliged to continue
14 to work on, such as ''git notes''.
16 Now, some people who tried to teach me some time management strongly
17 criticized me for ignoring their lessons, and unfortunately, I have to agree.
19 The problem is that I would _hate_ to see msysGit fall to the same state it
20 was after I stopped working on it last year. I started it, and I would like
21 it to grow, but too few people took care of the issue tracker, too few tried
22 to debug their problems themselves, too few submitted fixes.
24 I note, though, that there is a positive trend. But being the impatient person
25 I am ("2 seconds is my attention span") I tend to want the trend to be more
28 Anyway, no work on msysGit for at least 4 days, that's what the doctor (me)
