Dear Mr or Ms Random832,
The BK flame wars are long gone, Git won. Not really interested in
rehashing all of that. Especially not here. Please take your ax
and grind it elsewhere if that is what you want to do.
To the rest of the list, sorry about this, not my intent to have these
"discussions" here.

Sorry, I guess I got the timeline and the specifics mixed up (the stuff
about a non-compete agreement - I've never heard of any other company
having such a thing for their _customers_ - made me assume that there
was an attempt to actually enforce that), but it certainly seemed like
you were not very big fans of the idea of a perfect BK-to-_anything_
exporter, since then you'd lose control of the users whose metadata you
had locked up in your servers. On Wed, Mar 30, 2016, at 15:17, Larry McVoy

Nope. In 18 years of business we've never sued anyone. You are the first person outside of BitMover that
I've ever seen
recognize that. Go you! It's very annoying, we can write a perfect BK
to Git exporter but going the other way is a research project.
Didn't you sue someone for writing a BK to Git exporter?
