But there never was a problem. Those ftp client have been around since the mid-1990's. He created a "problem" in order to play with a favorite software: git. This is typical behavior. git is clearly among the softwares, systems (Linux?) and devices (iPhone?) that have "fanboys".
So we can be sure we'll be hearing more about git. More fabricated "problems" to solve. Fanboys are blinded to all of history and all else besides their chosen infatuation.
Meanwhile, no matter how wonderful git is, I still have to install multiple versioning systems (cvs, svn, hg and git, at the bare minimum), because programmers can't agree on just one. Now _that_ is a problem.

They all do. There are MVS fanboys, VM fanboys, ITS fanboys (oh, yes), Windows fanboys, and so on, and so forth. It isn't the technology, it's the people.
True. There is nothing wrong with git. It is great software.
But like a good song, if the radio stations overplay it, they can ruin the enjoyment of it for some listeners.
I think maybe we (nerds) all have the urge to be fanboys. We all have some software that we really like. Yet there are many examples of people who resist the urge to be a fanboy. Alas, the ones who give in to it are the ones who post their follies on the web and announce it to the world. The ones who don't are silent.
Use ncftp or lftp. Problem solved.
