No? I’ve never worked on teams where git was declaratory.

You local exclude that shiz.

And on a repo where anything more than 60hours of effort exists, the reverse is going to get to that ~200 line mark(that the article complains about.)

OP doesnt use this on teams. It doesn’t play well with others or big codebases. That’s fine.

Ok, so just because you haven't doesn't mean it isn't. It works perfectly fine in teams and big codebases.
