26 <p>I only played with Git briefly before I recognized it as an unacceptable horror, so I will refer to others to describe these horrors in detail - <a href="http://jordi.inversethought.com/blog/enough-git/">here</a>, <a href="http://jordi.inversethought.com/blog/on-gitology/">here</a>, and <a href="https://stevebennett.me/2012/02/24/10-things-i-hate-about-git/">here</a>. I then looked for an alternative and found Mercurial which is good. There may also be other good alternatives but I haven't researched this, so I am only posting about Mercurial.</p> 26 <p>I only played with Git briefly before I recognized it as an unacceptable horror, so I will refer to others to describe these horrors in detail - <a href="http://jordi.inversethought.com/blog/enough-git/">here</a>, <a href="http://jordi.inversethought.com/blog/on-gitology/">here</a>, and <a href="https://stevebennett.me/2012/02/24/10-things-i-hate-about-git/">here</a>.

28 <p>I listed Mercurial first in the list of <a href="/existing.html">existing reactionary software</a> for a reason. This is because the distinction between Git and Mercurial makes it trivial to distinguish between horrible modern software and good reactionary software. The simple rule is that <b>all software whose source code is in Git is horrible modern software</b>. This eliminates 99% of current open source software, so this saves an incredible amount of time for those of us who want good reactionary software. All good software will be in Mercurial or some other Git alternative.</p> 28 <p>I listed Mercurial first in the list of <a href="/existing.html">existing reactionary software</a> for a reason.

30 <p>It should go without saying that anyone who is developing reactionary software should use Mercurial for source control. Since there weere no good hosting solutions, we developed a <a href="https://hg.reactionary.software/">free Mercurial hosting service</a>.</p> 30 <p>It should go without saying that anyone who is developing reactionary software should use Mercurial for source control.
