In my view, the core ideas in `git' are quite profound and deserve an impeccable implementation. This is practical because those ideas are also pretty simple. I started here: http://www.seyza.com/=clients/linus/tree/index.html and for those interested in `git'-theory, a good place to start is http://www.seyza.com/=clients/linus/tree/src/liblob/index.html (Linus is not literally a "client" of mine. That's just the directory where this goes.) -t
