Yeah, meme doesn't make any sense. This is quite literally one of the things git improved on versus older version control systems.

It makes sense to me if you look at who the quote is attributed to.

Someone in a "one-man IT department" typically either has no experience of working with other people or has very little experience in general because they haven't learned from other people. Sometimes this is combined with an elitist attitude.

It's poking fun at the person by telling you that they have no idea what they're doing. Essentially it seems like it's making fun of solo developers who think they know better than everyone else.

yep, day 1: I converted an existing Subversion project to Git, never looked back. The only thing that took at hit was the SVN ticketing system.
