I don't see anything that suggests I didn't hit it on the button. I
didn't say you didn't understand git, simply that arch isn't git and
isn't git on purpose. The desiderata you posted allow you to bolt git
on the side, but "being git" is not part of the desiderata for Arch.

By which you mean?

Sure, but that's not what I meant. The point is that in git because
the name is a function of the semantics of the stored object, the
"real history" and the "historical record" are one and the same. If
you find an object that is semantically identical, then it's part of
the historical record, and has a natural place in it. This is not
true of arch; the history is an artificial cosntruct.
