Is it this Tom Lord: https://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch/ https://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch/ ?
It was my first introduction to proper branching/merging support, vs RCS and CVS at the time.
- pcdavid 4y agoYes apparently: https://lwn.net/Articles/901807/ https://lwn.net/Articles/901807/
- trelane 4y agoTLA was one of my first too, if not the first foray outside CVS.
- alexott 4y agoUnfortunately yes. That was interesting system before git…
- 0xdky 4y agoI worked on a POC porting it to Windows and had to port GNU tar to support large file names. TLA was truly revolutionary!
- emmelaich 4y agoSimilarly, I managed a Solaris build of arch for a while. arch/larch/arx/tla/baz was pretty cool. But Tom was in denial about its short comings. Particularly speed.
