At "Git Together '08" Junio C Hamano has delivered "Git Chronicle, Recent Additions to Git" talk[1]. What's more Junio posted slides for this talk[2] at http://userweb.kernel.org/~junio/200810-Chron.pdf so that people who were not present at Git Together could read it too. Now that's Git Together '10 comes near, I wonder if it would be possible to have updated "Git Chronicles". It was two years of development ago. Hopefuly Junio still has tools he used to generate data for this talk. One of graphs shown was growth of git codebase and of git contributors. Did git development stabilized during those two years since 2008, or does it still reads as active rather than stable development? Another interesting graphs was plot showing number of surviving lines added in a give release relative to mumber of all lines added in said release. This was used to detect which releases were important ones. Were there any releases between 2008 and 2010 of significant importance? The slides for "Git Chronicles" from 2008 closed with timelines of git features. Were there any important user-visible features added since 2008 (notes, sparse checkout, "smart" HTTP)? What might be also interesting is a descriotpion of how some important feature came into being, with hint of an idea, discussions, prototypes, failed starts, dropped patches, reworkings, accepted version and then improvements. If one is not watching git mailing list regularly for a longer time, what one sees is the final product. One doesn't know what it might to take to get a large feature into git...
