 I had heard about the Git, a distributed resource control software configuration management project created by Linus Torvalds.  However, I had not dug deeper to find out that it was a result of a flamewar and is a sad fallout created by the whole BitKeeper affair.  It makes for very interesting reading…

 

…also, I had not read much about Mercurial, a competitor to Git, written in python.  So I decided to watch this rather interesting video about Mercurial and read this comprehensive on-line book

 

Damn, those Linux guys really know how to throw their toys out the cot…
