  Don't think of git as a version-control system. Think of it more as a distributed content-addressable object store database representing an acyclic directed graph[1]. ...with real-world applications! https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20151158/using-git-repository-as-a-database-backend https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20151158/using-git-repos... [1] That's a lot of post-2010s buzzwords for a system written in 2005.

  Some tools get unhappy - maybe they are fixed now. There is a reason golang-hg was last!
