because it's a cult. things don't make sense in cults. i encountered
the following quote the other day, which finally convinced me. you
can't rationalize things with this sort of thinking:

"It is out of question that git is becoming the standard tool to
manage code. It is incredible how clever Linus was in inventing it."
http://www.dev-articles.com/article/Git-and-Linus-431001

oh, and there's the whole 'user-level filesystems are bad, mmmkay?!' debacle:

their ecosystem won't allow any synthetic filesystems past /sys
anytime soon, nevermind the auth bit.
