Nah, I think it's the git that Torvalds wrote when he decided that Monotone had some pretty cool ideas (the whole distributed VCS thing) but was slow and written in icky C++.
- krakensden 17y agoBoth statements are true- it was a hack to replace BitKeeper after the Tridgell disaster, and it was inspired by monotone, which he deemed irreparably slow.
- silentbicycle 17y agoYeah. He caught monotone at a bad time. Graydon had just gone on sabbatical... Also, 'disaster' is a bit...harsh. As I heard, he just telnet'd and asked for "help".
- krakensden 17y agoWell... it was a disaster in the sense that it caused a row and meant they had to switch versioning systems.
