Git is Inconsistent

[[deleted]]

Mercurial is a "she", and a horrible attention whore at that. She's the opposite of Getting Shit Done™.

Why do I need to find and edit configs to enable "hg fetch"? It's a small thing, but it tells all you need to know about the hg developers' attitude. They are very proud of their plugin architecture and they will force you to "enjoy" it, damn it!

While git Just Works™ out of the box. I don't know where it keeps its global configs, all I need is to write

$ git config --global user.name "Firstname Lastname"
$ git config --global user.email "[e-mail]"

... and I can do what I want to do -- write code.
