Going Git

,----[ Quote ]
| It's a distributed version control system focused on speed, effectiveness and 
| real-world usability on large projects, and one of its strongest points for 
| open source projects is that it has an easy way to send patches by e-mail, 
| which vastly simplifies projects with many submitters and few committers.

xmldiff patches XML files by sending just the changes

,----[ Quote ]
| Xmldiff is a tool that can show you the differences between two XML files, 
| taking into account changes that are purely syntax or are not significant 
| according to the XML specification. One of the patch formats that Xmldiff can 
| generate is an XUpdate XML document that succinctly describes the changes 
| between two XML files.

Version labeling is out of control

,----[ Quote ]
| Version numbering, of course, is partly a matter of judgment -- a reality 
| that Linus Torvalds frequently emphasizes when he announces a new kernel. For 
| instance, five years ago, he announced the long-awaited 2.6.0 with, "This 
| should not be a big surprise to anybody on the list any more, since we've 
| been building up to it for a long time now.... Anyway, 2.6.0 is out there 
| now." The implication that version numbering is arbitrary, and perhaps more a 
| marketer's concern than a developer's one, could hardly be clearer.

Git Spawns a Business

,----[ Quote ]
| The up-and-coming version control system git has begun to prove its mettle
| outside of Linux kernel development. The Ruby on Rails community has embraced
| it wholeheartedly with many core projects migrating to the system recently.
| The climate has become right for businesses to spring up in the wake of this
| adoption.

Git Gets Down to Business

,----[ Quote ]
| That is, not content with helping to create an entire GNU/Linux industry,
| Torvalds has now spawned another business sector with Git. Truly, this man is
| working towards world domination.

Git to Manage Android Code

,----[ Quote ]
| Git is an open source version control system designed to handle very large
| projects with speed and efficiency, but it’s also suited for small personal
| repositories; it is especially popular in the open source community, serving
| as a development platform for projects like the Linux Kernel, WINE or X.org.

Git is the next Unix

,----[ Quote ]
| Much like Unix itself, git's actual software doesn't matter; it's the file
| format, the concepts, that change everything.
|
| Whether they're called git or not, some amazing things will come of this.

,----[ Quote ]
| "The latest feature release GIT 1.5.4 is available at the usual places,"
| began Git maintainer Junio Hamano. He continued, "it has been an unusually
| long cycle. 5 months since the last feature release 1.5.3 was really a bit
| too long. But I hope it was worth waiting for. Thanks everybody for working
| hard to improve it." He noted that there were 165 contributers resulting in
| 684 changed files, included 70,435 insertions and 28,984 deletions.
