I'm very sad to hear that, because I think it is improper for
contributors to put up such an ultimatum for a project. I hope that
people who contribute to Emacs (and any other project) are first and
foremost interested in advancing the project, and any other
considerations are secondary.
At least that's how I reacted when Gawk and Make switched to Git: I
gnashed my teeth and adapted. I hope so will you.
