Parent article: The Linux Foundation's kernel development paper

When kernel development was moved to git, was commit history preserved in some way? If so,
does git have an equivalent to the "blame" command? If so, you could get some interesting
statistics describing who (both people and companies) have had the most influence in which
components.

I've only had much experience with centralized SCM's, so I don't know whether this sort of
thing is actually possible with git/bitkeeper.

After having read past the first few paragraphs, I noticed that it already has some charts for
this :)

The git equivalent for the blame command is... blame! :)

Huh?  Sorry, it sounds like you're saying that git invented 'cvs annotate'.  That can't be
right :-).
