The Linux project used to store its code in BitKeeper [1]. But then Linus wrote Git and Git replaced BitKeeper somewhere in 2005.

Initial git repository - kernel tree
Hello, I have a question about git patches. When I run git log include/linux/skbuff.h and page down till the end, I reach 1da177e Linux-2.6.12-rc2 (I do it on the net-next tree.) git show 1da177e gives: Author: Linus Torvalds Date: Sat Apr 16 15:20:36 2005 -0700 Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip! So this is the initial patch from 2005. Now, does it mean that prior to this patch all patches were not handled by git ? or was there some merging from an old tree to a new tree where history of git patches was removed in the new tree ? regards, Kevin ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
