I'd be 100% OK with BitKeeper not winning if Git was at parity or better
than BitKeeper, but that's not the case. It's trivial to do a BK to
Git exporter, it's really hard to do the other direction, Git records
far less information.
It's pretty much what I predicted back in the early 2000's. If you don't
leave space for commercial companies to make money and pay people to try
and reach for the better answer, you're gonna get mediocre answers. And
here we are.
I have a ImageMagic CD that I got back in 1994
that I found in my
garage. It has a bunch of versions of linux that aren't on kernel.org.
The 0.99 series, the 0.98 series and what looks like 1.0 alpha pl14
and pl15.
Isn't everything in the source code controlsystem?
I thought that everything has been integrated in BitKeeper with help from Larry
McVoy. Or are you interested in parts that are not in the kernel?
