It is a testimony to talent of F/OSS community that kernel monkeys
replaced BitKeeper in like 3 months of hacking.

Git started out as a wimpy hack to manage diffs and now Linus has
handed it off to a new maintainer who is talking about a 1.0
version coming out soon!? "All the feature are in I just mainly
need bug fixes....."

Incredible!  Was BitKeeper really that wimpy of a product that
you could replace it in one summer vacation?

BTW, FYI, the reason Linux doesn't use Subversion is because Linux
needs a special system for VERY large projects.  There is no
file level information in Git like there is in CVS and Subversion.
ALL the patches are diffs of DIRECTORIES!  Interesting stuff!
