Except when you check out that book what happens is that the librarian creates an exact duplicate for you to borrow.
When you bring the book back the librarian then has to find the book on the shelf and duplicate all the crumpled pages, missing pages, dog ears and notes you have put in the margin of the page.
Woe betide should you have borrowed the same book at the same time as someone else and both added different notes to the same page or crumpled the same page in a different manner.
Now when you check the book in the librarian has to figure out whether your page crumple or that of the other person should be applied to the book being held in stock.
I feel sorry for librarians.

Been doing this = managing the main source code stream for several years in a team of more than 50 people. Never again. Librarian is highly interesting since you are the one knowing every single part of the code after some time, but resolving conflicts, in the code while merging and of course among the developers in the team, is exhausting.

You have my sympathy and respect.
Fortunately where I work we commit and merge our own changes, so we are personally responsible for resolving merge conflicts.
I can imagine that having to resolve other people's merge conflicts is no easy task.

Yeah - but I was trying to reduce his confusion!

Oh, I thought Git like checking-into the library (e.g. checking in hotel, airport) rather than getting a book from the library. A matter of different perspective.

English is certainly strange, especially to the people like me if(native_language != English || who_thinks_more_logically).

Shops (even online ones) use the same terminology: you "go to the checkout" to pay for your goods, and then leave or they are dispatched.
And if you think English is strange, don't even glance in the direction of Welsh!

Yeh, he can do complex and swing at the same time, which is always nice. Are those Meinl cymbals? They have that really nice look.

Dimples like golf balls. Ain't computer modelling grand!
(Computer modelling actually allowed people to make the first ever bell with an absolutely clear tone -- a couple of thousand years of people making bells, and it took a guy with a PC to make a perfect one, without ever being in the same room as a bell.)

People who know what they're doing always make it look easy.
Pathetic little pop morons, who have everything done for them, have to pretend that it's hard.

My codebase, excluding binaries has now reached 600k of C# code.
I don't know how many people can appreciate how much code that is for one person.
I feel like I deserve a cookie or a sticker or something.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.
