Whatever Linus' reasons, it's not a bad exercise and it does help robustify the kernel project to roll its own. Not that he seems to be doing *this* part especially well or anything, but that doesn't matter from the perspective of the good reasons to do it. It doesn't matter much -- get stuff into git and people can layer on that pretty gently. The low layers of git are a common idea but context and Linus' nifty code make this instance of the idea a bit of a gem. > please remember that I've spent years > thinking about merge algorithms I'm surprised we haven't met sooner. If we did and I forgot, sorry. -t - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Wed Apr 27 06:43:37 2005
