That's exactly what I meant when I said you can go on pretending that
Bitkeeper doesn't exist. The fact that Linus and Marcelo (and a few of their
close friends) chose to use that tool doesn't mean you have to too. You
can still send in patches like you always did [1].


[1] If you ever did :) reminds me of that old joke, of a guy breaking his
    arm and getting a cast. He asks his doctor: "Doctor, when will I be
    able to play piano?", to which the doctor replies "I believe within
    two weeks". The guy exclaims: "that's great, I could never play piano
    before!".
