Torvalds Unveils New Linux Control System
BlakeCaldwell writes "CNet reports: 'Linux founder and leader Linus Torvalds has launched a new tool, called Git, to manage his software project, after a dispute led him to drop the previous system.' He will start using Git instead of BitKeeper to control the flow of updates and track changes in the kernel." We've covered this previously. Relatedly, ChocLinux writes "Jeremy Allison, who wrote Samba with Andrew 'Tridge' Tridgell, is sticking up for his friend in the row over BitKeeper. "
I thought that's what Southerners say to their dawgs?

This is a total shock for me. I thought for sure he was going back to pen and paper.
"Want a free iPod?"
Linus got the name from Tridge's response to McVoy.

"Stupid Git!"
And if you're too lazy to RTF, here's the quote from the very end of the article.. "When asked why he called the new software, "git," British slang meaning "a rotten person," he said. "I'm an egotistical bastard, so I name all my projects after myself. First Linux, now git.""
And this is his way of saying fork you.
Think for yourself.
i believe the phrase is "GIT R DONE!", and has nothing to do with dogs (unless heavy drinking is involved).
you'd do well to learn some redneck, then try again later.
I saw it on Slashdot, it must be true!
"Torvalds could have done something constructive: he could have written the best damn OS [Operating System] on the planet, and believed that open source generates better things, and competed against AT&T that way," says a Bell Labs Spokespers in the posting.
Larry said very clearly that his company is the most open source friendly company in existance. Surely he wouldn't lie about that would he?
Seriously, I'd have modded you up, but you were already at the max.
I can see it now...
"There's damn bug som'er in mem.c, can you see if you squish that son'va'bitch?"
"Public? I made it a private construct. Torvalds threw it in public."
"If you construct your own low level CMS when the other one runs away,you just might be a redDevneck."
Why, o why must the sky fall when I've learned to fly?

- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command.
Well, *duh*!
Self respecting unix commands have two letters, noto three, and, furthemore, are not pronounceable.
That mkdir and rmdir use more than two letters is a long-standing bug--longer even than the screwy footnote/gap bug in words (which dates to Mac Word 1.0)

I suggest Firebird.
It should have been called 'dickhead' then, much more appropriate and has an Australian air to it.

What about "Git Isn't a TLA"

Idiot. Telneting into a service and typing 'help' is not 'h4x0r1ng', no matter how difficult the telnet manpage looks.
