- silentbicycle 16y agoYou mean the one where an existing project with several years of history has its development tree imported into github as its first commit? I remember the memcached project being announced, and I'm pretty sure it predated github by five years or more.
- dlsspy 16y agoI have no idea what link you clicked on. The one above says this: committing memcached bradfitz (author) May 27, 2003 Specifically, that was Tue May 27 07:19:11 2003 +0000. I spent a long night back in 2008 recreating that history as accurately as possible. It involved a couple of git repositories, subversion repositories, and a lot of google and mailing list searches to ensure that every one who ever contributed to the project was properly recognized. You can read more about that process here: http://www.mail-archive.com/memcached@googlegroups.com/msg00503.html http://www.mail-archive.com/memcached@googlegroups.com/msg00...
- silentbicycle 16y agoMy apologies, and thanks for the exact date. I missed that the github commit date was in 2003. (If you miss that, your reply comes off as really snarky. Mine was a bit blunt, too.)
