The first commit was already self-hosted. It was done manually (write-tree
etc by hand), but yes, the first commit really is:
Thu Apr 7 15:13:13 2005 -0700
and the second one (add copyright notices) was done a few minutes later.
Later that same day I imported "sparse" into a git archive from BK (you
can get the sparse archive, and see the initial commit:
commit 3ece2ef7c0a3d5975f65aa09911e1944e4125c45
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
AuthorDate: Thu Mar 13 12:53:56 2003 -0700
Commit: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
CommitDate: Thu Apr 7 20:59:14 2005 -0700
notice how the commit date is different from the author date - the
author date was taken from the BK tree that I imported).
The third git commit is committing the changes to git to make that import
possible ("Thu Apr 7 21:03:28 2005 -0700").
So git was self-hosting since April 7, 2005.
Now, exactly when I started git development (ie how long it took before it
got to that self-hosting stage), I can't remember. I'd say about two
weeks, probably.
