gittutorial I had seen before, but the others I had not. Thanks for that, I'll give them a go. Wow, mid 90s! Git came out in 2005, so I assume they started out using some previous version control and then switched to git? That must lead to some serious knots. Is there a way to retroactively migrate source control history into git? Depends on the legacy source control tool, I guess. I think git-blame and git-cat-file are probably the next commands I need to explore in depth. Will investigate those further. Thanks for sharing your gitconfig as well. Always interesting to see how others are streamlining their workday.

Yes, it was migrated from CVS in 2005[1]. Between then and 1998, it used CVS. Before 1998, It looks like only releases were tracked[2]. I'm not sure what system was used, if any. But yes, it's all migrated into Git, including even the dates.
