[darcs-users] Linus' git.

Folks,

"Linus Torvalds began working on an interim solution called 'git' in the
absence of BitKeeper..."

http://kerneltrap.org/node/4982


What's interesting in this text is the performance need put on such tool:

``... If it takes half a minute to apply a patch and remember the
changeset boundary etc (and quite frankly, that's _fast_ for most SCM's
around for a project the size of Linux), then a series of 250 emails
(which is not unheard of at all when I sync with Andrew, for example)
takes two hours. If one of the patches in the middle doesn't apply, things
are bad bad bad....''

Cheers,
Karel
