This is very interesting. Each day that goes by makes it look more and more like 'git' could be the next kernel SCM, at least on an interim basis.

I haven't looked too closely, but it sure looks like a snapshot-based solution rather than a changeset-based solution. Monotone started out as the former, but moved to the latter. I think there is some consensus that changeset-orientation is superior.

I do wonder whether spending several days on git is the most effective use of Linus's time. But I guess if he's having fun, who am I to judge?

I haven't been looking at it too closely, but doesn't git seem to be a nice candidate for a monotone backend?
