It was a modified prisoners dilemma where 100 prisoners are faced with steal or share, and have every possible chance to communicate but just can change their choice after making it. And if just 20 had shared, then everyone wins, even those

It reads a bit like the author has a misconception of what commmits are. A commit is not a diff, it's a snapshot. All of the talk about branches containing changes etc, make sense in the context of it being a reference to the latest sn
