Some Quotes Related To Git

Mark Shuttleworth (Ubuntu / Canonical Ltd.): "Merging is the key to software developer collaboration."

Ian Clatworthy (Canonical / Bazaar): "By 2011-2012, I predict this technology will be widely adopted and many teams will wonder how they once managed without it."

Assaf Arkin in Git forking for fun and profit originally: "Apache built a great infrastructure around SVN, lots of sweat and tears went into making it happen, and at first I felt like we’re circumventing all of that. But the longer I thought about it, the more I realized that Git is just more social than SVN, and that’s exactly what Apache is about."

Keith Vetter: I miss the old days using Razor and links and threads and waiting for my codeveloper to finish a file so I could work on it... and being linked to a system that would break me if somebody updated it... and making my own secret copies... and then doing diff -rq all over the place... and sometimes trying to go back to some previous point in the history... *.orig *.orig2 ... *.new

Linus Torvald: "Subversion has been the most pointless project ever started". "If you like using CVS, you should be in some kind of mental institution or somewhere else".

--- u just have to love Linus :)
