Thank you Bryan! That’s a gem! I’ll incorporate it into one of the next blog posts!

For those following along, the blog post was updated to reflect some of the comments. Most importantly it includes an email that Marc Rochkind, the author of SCCS wrote me, with some anecdotes from the time.

It means I am bad at spelling and it should say “missing” source control system. Realistically knowing my track record, the series will probably take 2-never years to finish.

By the time it was open sourced, the DVCS wars were already at an end. Git (due to Github) was used everywhere. Bazaar saw it's last release in the same year as BK open sourced (2016) and Mercurial usage dropped slowly.

Post author her! Super interesting! I heard rumors about it! Do you know if that was just a matter of implementation or a matter of data structure usage? In my mind, the RCS approach makes more sense for common operations such as checking o

Thank you! Great idea! I do have thoughts about waht the next generation of source control systems should look like! It hopefully will be the last post in the full series. So estimated arrival time for that post, by interpolation of how lon

The quilt tool by Andrew Morton is one of these tools used for maintainance ( https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/quilt.1.html ) of the kernel. It's actually quite nice to use. Early versions of git and

Author of the blog post here! I am super curious about your experience with SCCS! I have never really used it for personal projects, so the blog post is purely based on research and a bit of trying. Really curious what oyu loved and what an

I prefer the term "derived" from Mercurial. It was Mercurial and slowly but steadily morphed into what's a custom VCS now.

Self directed learning like this happens within the social constructs in areas where people are very interested at a time or have a specific need. My understanding of the article is that is more focused on the general approach to learning,

I don't know how zones were implemented in Solaris, but since the article brings up docker, I feel the original zones implementation in Solaris is a still significnatly better user experience than docker or anything similar on Linux. T

It stems from the original Mercurial implementation. The goal here is that every operation leaves the repository in a good state that can be pushed/pulled. That's why Mercurial and Sapling rely on commit/amend/uncommit,

For some Solaris has been one of the first UNIX experiences, as it was one of the most popular unices out there. Most university used it before Linux became popular. For others, like me, who learned Solaris fairly late (2006), Solaris was a

All the comments make me incredible sad. Established projects need a valid backwards compatibility policy, this is particular true for shells and programming language to not break existing scripts. People make mistakes and it's been ag

I like that Mercurial still tries hard to get new concepts into the core. There is something they call "phases" which is a boundary marking what was published and what not. Phases then forbid people to rebase changsets that were a

When was the last time you looked at Mercurial? Recently the community put a lot of effort into performance and it should be very close to git's performance. On the flexibility site, Mercurial has the histedit extension as well as reba
