- bshimmin 12y agoFrom that link: > Is SRC used to develop itself? No. That would be silly. From Git's Wikipedia page: > The development of Git began on 3 April 2005. The project was announced on 6 April, and became self-hosting as of 7 April.
- owenmarshall 12y agoYou're kinda missing the point: this project is designed around a single user maintaining a linear history for a single file. Using it for a project would be a weird impedance mismatch. That's not to say I find SRC compelling... in the slightest. Just that you'd never use SRC to track a project.
- bshimmin 12y agoYou're right, I was mostly just being snarky - but, that said, the source of SRC (sigh - what a terrible name, as others have said) is, in fact, just one Python file, so I suppose you could arguably use SRC for it. I don't find it at all compelling either.
- owenmarshall 12y agoHah. I just looked at the src (heh) - you're right, one file. I take back my argument. If esr wants to fetishize a time when Real Programmers took patches over nntp and applied them in rcs, then by god he should go all in and self host the thing!
- fetbaffe 12y agoESR is not the only contributor to SRC, check the log. So no, SRC would be the wrong tool.
