A shame that I didn't see the contest start. I would have had a number of cases to add using Git - to track your ~ (cf. http://vcs-home.madduck.net) - to track /etc (cf. http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/etckeeper/) - as the backend for a service like snapshot.debian.net - as a mail store and complete replacement of IMAP anyway, enter me for round 2!! > Avery Pennarun explains his endeavor of tracking windows with > git...

I had this idea? Well, maybe something related: vcs-pkg.org, which is about using distributed VCS for distro package maintenance. More Debian-specific is my goal to replace source packages with services that build straight from trees identified by Git tags, which I've written a bit about here: http://madduck.net/blog/2005.08.11:rcs-uploads/ This is up high on my list of todos, so expect more on this topic soon. Anyway, thanks Johannes for the fun! :) -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "wenn elephanten tanzen leidet das gras." -- die vogelpredigt spamtraps: madduck.bogus@xxxxxxxxxxx
