I would include a discussion of Git's origin story.  I find it
interesting how Linus choose a proprietary VCS (BitKeeper) to manage
what is arguably the single most successful free software project and
how it inevitably blew up and out of the ashes rose Linus's second
triumph.

[git-users] Paper on Git to Write, suggestions sought!

2010-12-05 Thread Neil Grogan
Hello fellow Git users,

I have a paper to write in College on a SCM system and I choose Git.
Just looking for one liners or links as to what you'd include or talk
about? Specifically in the research or improvements in Git coming up,
as I can't find much on that.


Thanks,
Neil
