Re: [git-users] Re: Humorous description of git
It isn't true. The claim that Git reduces to branches being endofunctors on submanifolds of Hilbert spaces is humorous. After all, one thing I see was overlooked in the attempt to actually make sense out of it, looking at definitions, was that there is no notion of continuity in Git; but continuity is absolutely essential for homeomorphisms (except in graph theory: but that definition does not make sense here either). Nor is there a notion corresponding to the fundamental form of the Hilbert space. That said, some of the parallels are highly suggestive. But any mathematical description of the fundamentals of Git is going to have to rely primarily on discrete mathematics, NOT topology, differential geometry or functional analysis.
