That’s not quite right though, there’s the factor you know (password to your vault), and the factor you have (a copy of the encrypted vault).
Admittedly, I don’t use that feature either, but, it’s not as bad as it seems at first glance.
There were such a thing as slave branches, though; not in git itself, but git was modeled after (and inherited the term ‘master’ from) bitkeeper, which had ‘master’ and ‘slave’ repositories.
I’m not sure that’s super relevant or important, these days, but, it feels worth getting the history right. The term ‘master’ as used in git can be traced directly to a master/slave usage, not a ‘master copy’ usage.
Wow, a Lain meme was not something I was expecting.
I should watch that show again sometime, I still have the DVDs somewhere I think.
