- ggggit 14y agoRight. I feel stupid that I did not realise this. I am a big fan of crunched binaries, actually. That guy at U of Maryland who introduced it to BSD in the early 90's is a software hero in my book. For Linux fans, I guess your hero would be Bruce Perens or whoever was behind Busybox. Anyway I've learned something more about git from admitting my error. Thank you HN!
