  Since it's trivia we're dealing with. This commit was made 18 days before I was born: https://github.com/mirrors/gcc/commit/cbbca02e2430b2dc1f5681e15b620524bb4da6db https://github.com/mirrors/gcc/commit/cbbca02e2430b2dc1f5681... :)

That's beautiful. It may be a monster, but it started so small in 1992 - then was grown with loving care in 1993, 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2008, and 2011!

  It was 16 lines in 1992. I guess that's not what it is today, but not exactly "so small". https://github.com/mirrors/gcc/blob/42c63e4d48cfac192be8c0ccf36ee82193a03000/gcc/reload.c#L468-L484 https://github.com/mirrors/gcc/blob/42c63e4d48cfac192be8c0cc... The copyright notice goes back to '87. I wonder if '92 is just where the source control kicks in.

    I thinks that's just when the source control kicks in. DannyBee claims that reload was started in the late 80s. There are commits going back to 1988, but it looks like a lot of the early commits are out of order; the repository was (at least) converted from RCS to CVS to SVN to Git.

I'm impressed that the blame log has survived intact. What SCM was originally used?
- b0z0 12y ago
  Probably Git? You know that's been around much longer than Github has, right.
  - kehrlann 12y ago
    Hasn't been around _that_ long. Wikipedia puts the release date in 2005.

    Git was released in 2005. Git is only 3 years older than Github

    Of course, but even without checking Wikipedia, I remember a time not too terribly long ago when git, and even svn, didn't exist.

      And are pretty sure that GCC was around at that point!

  When I started working on gcc 1.36 (company I was working for was designing Unix workstations and we were fixing the backend for MC680x0) we used RCS. But I'm not sure it was the original SCM, we didn't even have Internet access then :-) And we got gcc 1.35-36-37 "smuggled" to us on the 1/4" tape.
