I use phabricator for the llvm project (whose canonical repo is still svn), and I also find it pretty frustrating.<p>One thing I particularly dislike is that (as far as I can tell) there isn&#x27;t a way to pull metadata down from phab into a git commit.  Arcanist puts metadata (e.g. the list of reviewers) into my commit, but then before I actually push the commit, I want to update that list.  As far as I can tell, I have to do this by hand, or otherwise write a script, which I may do, but definitely not in php because prejudice, but seriously ugh.<p>That said, there are bright spots.  The tool for getting notified of new patches (herald, not pherald, sadly) is powerful.  And phabricator integrates reasonably well with a mailing list.<p>I wish we would give up and use a pure git-based workflow.  The war is over, let&#x27;s get on with our lives.
