That's not gonna happen. Pijul's innovations originated in SCMs much older than git, and Torvalds evaluated all those SCMs before deciding to create git, so he was well aware of those ideas. If it didn't happened in the begi

Okay, these are all fair points regarding package installation (though I don't buy this was an enough excuse for GP in this specific case because it becomes clear at the moment you run `mysql' command)
