14 James,

16 As an old-time C hacker, to wrap your brains around git, forget
17 everything you ever learned about CVS, SVN and similar tools.
18
19 Then recall everything you ever learned in C about pointers, linked
20 lists (all the juicy types), and structs.
21
22 Now look at git again, you should feel in much more familiar territory.
23 You still have to get used to Linus' quite bizarre names he gave commands.
24
25 But then again, he does say git isn't really a source-code repo, he says
26 it's a filesystem. Because that's what he does - writes filesystems.
