- npsimons 14y agoKindly ignoring the snide fact that, yes, git wasn't available in 1993, I'll point out that ASCII has been around since, what, the late 1960's? Of course, I will admit I was being a bit snarky too, but backups have been around forever, and text compresses really well. Of course, I can appreciate the permanence of ink, or even stone as a media (http://books.google.com/books?id=CgeHW-geducC&lpg=PA6&ots=W-wVe4fKqT&dq=chalk%20ink%20stone%20Anathem&pg=PA6#v=onepage&q=chalk%20ink%20stone%20Anathem&f=false http://books.google.com/books?id=CgeHW-geducC&lpg=PA6...).
- gwern 14y agoNo, you should have been running CVS or RCS in '93, for which there have been Git migration tools like git-cvsimport for years now.
