It was an interview for a rather senior position, with relocation to Bangkok.

After a few brilliant interviews via Skype, I was invited for face-to-face interviews at the Bangkok offices.

They paid for the flight and the stay in a great hotel, within walking distance of the offices. The stay itself was very nice.

Now, right from the first interview, things didn't go smoothly. At first, I had to wait for about 40 minutes outside the office in a small, non-air-conditioned lobby because they were delayed. After that, some of the people who were supposed to interview me were missing or busy.

It was a two-day process. The second day was also messy. After the last interviews, I was given a real-estate tour by a very nice realtor agent.

I was told I would get a final answer in a week.

I felt I didn't shine at the first interview due to my severe jet lag. And after almost three weeks of not hearing from them, I tried to check what was going on and even said that I hadn't been at my best during the first interview. I got another Skype interview, in which I was told I was very good, and also that on the face-to-face interviews, they thought I was very good.

And then another few weeks of nothing.

After nudging them again, I received a laconic rejection from an HR coordinator, with no explanation.

The nice guy who interviewed me last asked if I was satisfied with the answer. When I said that I had received no explanation whatsoever, he apologized and said that someone there thought my vast experience might make me too opinionated for a corporation like theirs.

I didn't argue, although I thought it was absurd, because – among other reasons – they should have understood that I wanted this position too badly to make any insignificant issue.

How would you manage a Git tree for an operation such as theirs?
