Im on the same boat :) But no worries. You can always build and use older git without rust. Of course, it will work for a while until those kids will change the proto for the "better". And being old and grumpy also means, you can slowly care less and less about all that moot :)

Kids: now downvote it into oblivion :) Like I give a shit...

These things often get presented as an age thing, but I think they aren't. It's very weird, I'm young but I feel like having the same stance in a lot of topics, in politics, but also here. I don't know how to deal with this. You guys have it easy (/s), you don't have to live with this for long, but I feel like I'm growing up into an increasingly hostile environment.
