Do you know if he reported these things to the mailing list?  I think we need
a reality check here:  Emacs is a voluntary project, and if users aren't
prepared to make bug reports then it's unlikely that any version control
system, no matter how good, will allow a handful to developers to avoid such
pitfalls.
