"I really really designed it coming at the problem from the viewpoint of a filesystem person (hey, kernels is what I do), and I actually have absolutely zero interest in creating a traditional SCM system."

-- Linus Torvals

Git

a content-addressable filesystem
manages tree snapshots (joined by commits) over time
distributed version control system

Why Git? Linux

2002 - 2005 proprietary BitKeeper

Apr 7, Linus Torvals - based on BitKeeper concepts

Msg:    Initial revision of "git", the information manager

May 26 - Linux 2.6.12 - the first release with Git
December 21 - Git 1.0

Linux needs

distributed, fast, many files, robust
effective storage - full history
non-linear development, trial branches, complex merges
toolkit-based design, pluggable merge strategies
cryptographic authentication of history

Annual Linux Development Report

by Linux Foundation - April 3, 2012
Linux 3.2 release - Apr 1, 2012
- 15,004,006 lines of code
72 days since 3.1.
- 11,881 patches, 6.88 per hour
- 1,316 developers from 226 organizations
2005-2015
- 12,000 developers from 1200 organizations

No Silver Bullet

permissions, ownership, empty directories, ...
individual files (not project's files)
large binary files (GitHub: Git LFS)

complexity - commit/push, checkout/clone
no subtree of repository checkout
no sequentially revision numbers

Git objects

blob
tree
commit
tag

Git objects: blob, tree

a blob object - content of a file
- no file name, time stamps, or other metadata
a tree object - the equivalent of a directory
- describes a snapshot of the source tree
- names of blob and tree objects (type bits)

Git objects: commit

a commit object
- links tree objects together into a history
- the name of a tree object (of the top-level source directory)
- a time stamp, a log message
- the names of zero or more parent commit objects

Git objects: tag

a tag object
- a container that contains reference to another object
- and can hold additional meta-data
