A friend of mine pointed me to this FLOSS Weekly podcast on the git version control system. Leo Laporte and Randal Schwartz talk with git maintainer Junio Hamano about the benefits of distributed version control and git in particular. I listened to it Thursday night on my iPod while at the gym.
Makes me want to give git a try when I have some time.
Glad to hear you listened to it, and it inspired you to check git out. If you have any more ideas for open source projects that are under-reported, email me at merlyn (at) stonehenge.com.
Speaking of underreported, there is always the not-loved enough Darcs. I see Linus’ argument for Git, but there is still something nice about how Darcs works (and they are finally fixing that favourite bug of everyone’s).
