I should backpedal on that statement a bit... While I think it's true |
| 16 |
historically, git is doing a great job for kernel development, and it |
| 17 |
can't be criticized lightly. Nonetheless, similar power is available |
| 18 |
in other DVCSs that are easier to use and less likely to cause |
| 19 |
headaches. |
