git is a file system. It contains many different roots, which they call branches. Branches have 'scores'. I'm not the first person to notice a passing similarity to venti in that way.
In venti, we can see every version of a file system, and even mount it, given a score. That's why things like yesterday are nice. To see a tree from git, I have to checkout a branch. I only have one branch checked out at a time. To see difference to a branch, I have to do this: git-diff I thought the intent of this project was to allow my to say, e.g.: mount /srv/git /tree cd /tree diff brancha branchb In this way git could be used in a way similar to venti. If this is going to end up being like webfs, and the git file system tree is not visible as a file system, I have a hard time seeing any improvement over the git tools. ron --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Plan 9 Google Summer of Code" group.
