I'm pretty sure the same operation without Git (or another VCS) would be infinitely more troublesome, not less.
Of course you're right, especially if you work in a professional team environment. I use git wherever I can. It's just the stereotypical meme of a hobbyist who prefers version control with weird filenames by hand.
The panel on the first position should be moved to the 5th position. Then it would make more sense to the joke.
I work with a team of three developers, and on several projects, we have a single git working tree on the dev server for some backend PHP stuff. we have never had problem because we have good communication.
Certainly version control is required in case we have to go back in time!
You merged your branch..... what did it cost you?
Everything.
The second last panel is the real "Fine, I'll do it myself"
This is why I use darcs. VCSs based on patch theory have less conflicts.
