Wait, why was this posted by Google? I thought Git was made by Linus Torvalds.

  > Linus Torvalds said in 2012 that one of his own biggest successes was recognizing how good a developer Hamano was on Git, and trusting him to maintain it.

  Git was created by Linus Torvalds, but out of the 50k+ commits on the repo, only 250 or so are from him, with only 14 in the past 6 years. [1] [1] https://github.com/git/git/graphs/contributors?from=2012-03-11&to=2018-05-10&type=c https://github.com/git/git/graphs/contributors?from=2012-03-...

    Here is a more detailed analysis, which shows all contributors: https://public.gitsense.com/insight/github?r=git/git#b%3Dgithub%3Agit%2Fgit%3Amaster%26t%3Dcontributors%26rg%3Dhistory https://public.gitsense.com/insight/github?r=git/git#b%3Dgit... These are contributions by Linus: https://public.gitsense.com/insight/github?r=git/git#b%3Dgithub%3Agit%2Fgit%3Amaster%26q%3Dauthor%3Atorvalds%40g5.osdl.org%5E_%5Eauthor%3Atorvalds%40linux-foundation.org%5E_%5Eauthor%3Atorvalds%40osdl.org%5E_%5Eauthor%3Atorvalds%40ppc970.osdl.org%5E_%5Ewindow%3A10000%26t%3Dcommits https://public.gitsense.com/insight/github?r=git/git#b%3Dgit... and as you can see, his contributions, really tapered off after 2010, while contributions from Hamano remained steady from 2008 to present date, as shown below: https://public.gitsense.com/insight/github?r=git/git#b%3Dgithub%3Agit%2Fgit%3Amaster%26q%3Dauthor%3Agitster%40pobox.com%5E_%5Ewindow%3A10000%26t%3Dcommits0 https://public.gitsense.com/insight/github?r=git/git#b%3Dgit....

  Opensource though.

  It's because a Google employee implemented protocol v2, and wrote a post about it.
