Uh oh people in my feed are talking about filesystems again.
Opinions on filesystems generally fall into 3 categories:
1. I lost data to a bug years ago therefore the filesystem is forever broken and unusable.
2. The filesystem doesn't have <feature> therefore it is broken and unusable.
3. Eh I guess it works? I never think about it.
(Opinion 3 being the ideal goal.)

@npub1upk…tcwy I wouldn't have thought git revert needed to do a merge, just apply a reverse diff (similar to patch --reverse) and commit the change.
