One thing I adore about github is it provides a legal audit
trail of
where the
code came from. While that proves nothing about whether
contributions
are stolen
or not, it provides a date stamp (like my registered copyright
did),
and if
stolen code does make its way into the code base, it can be
precisely
excised.
Github takes a great load off my mind.

Has there been case law in the USA that gives a Git log
official status as a record of history? I haven't done a
detailed search here, but I am not aware of any case law in the
UK on this. Other jursidictions will have their own rules
obviously.
BTW Malicious people can cheat and commit in the past, according
to

commitment date is not reliable.
