      @thomasfuchs When did they release this? And what's Tim up to? I guess he's past the top of the chart? I have enough trouble understanding these when they are well formatted, but um, what's Tim doing up, and arrows pointing down?

        @thomasfuchs even gitflow is too complicated for most projects, and that doesn't even involve morging

            @thomasfuchs yeah.... we think it's like fashion, people who see it may appreciate it in passing but it's only really worth the effort if it also makes us happy to do

                I think it's a haiku and they wanted to stretch the sillable count so they made up a word. It's a mood thing, a-la jabberwocky.

                              @gunstick @elithebearded @lmorchard @thomasfuchs I believe it was Dorian Gray who invented the "timn-sequence diagram" we all use today.

                                  Great, now because of you lot they deleted timn and the world will never learn. The irony of changing the docs about versioning flows without documenting the change is delicious. Almost as delicious as the fact that archive.org exists.

                                        @thomasfuchs Does the existence of pictures like this indicate how most people never try to read and understand charts?

                                        When this exists, they will never learn that it's worth making the effort 😞
