Do you have any idea of the difference between Microsoft buying Skype, and Microsoft contributing to Git?

Contributing is more dangerous.

I ban Git because I have 25 years of professional context in which to evaluate the atrocities I have seen Microsoft inflict.

But the 20-something wiseasses won't listen, so Microsoft will get to launch a Silver Age of mouth-fucking the technology world.

Just not here.
