robbat2@gentoo.org Robin H. Johnson Git - Fast Version Control System. Official titled "GIT - the stupid content tracker". Git is a popular version control system designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency; it is used mainly for various open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel. Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools, similar to e.g. GNU Arch or Monotone (or BitKeeper in the proprietary world). Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. Use the new optimized SHA1 implementation Install gitweb too Support fetching and pushing (requires webdav too) over http:// and https:// protocols Pull in gnupg for signing -- without gnupg, attempts at signing will fail at runtime!
