It's a joke that the bitkeeper dev has two revision control named after him, Mercurial and Git.
- bitwize 1y agoI've heard the one that says much like Linux, Git is named after Linus himself.
- vintermann 1y agoThat's what he says, and it's a sensible thing to say to not keep focus on old grudges, but people were really exasperated with Larry McVoy back in the day so I'm not sure it's entirely historically honest!
