For what it's worth, I compiled the very first version of git
commit e83c5163316f89bfbde7d9ab23ca2e25604af290
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Thu Apr 7 15:13:13 2005 -0700
Initial revision of "git", the information manager from hell
and its read-tree fails with
read-tree: read-tree <key>
Is it a proof enough?
