  Well, you can just ignore it.   There is a pretty good SCCS in
  there[*] if you peel away several layers of self-indulgent chrome
  and features for the sake of it being features.

Waiting for the book "git without the steam...punk".

  [*]: well, there was at least as of version 1.5.2.2; my brief
       experiment with 1.7 gave me the strong impression that
       at least part of the core team had dallying with clearcase[**]
  [**]:but not, thankfully, at the wire format label.   As long
       as people with the steampunk versions of the code can pull
       from my sccs, I don't have to care about the new gears, gauges,
       and lovingly brassoed tubing that have been bolted on top.
