[kwlug disc.] git from the bottom up

[Chris Frey]

Hello fellow LUGgers,

I came across a brilliant document on git today, which describes git
from the bottom up, explaining its simple low level concepts, and the
useful and complex ways they can be put together to help you with your
daily work.

If like me, you are the kind of person who doesn't feel comfortable with
some technology unless he understands how it works at the low level,
this document is for you.

Quote from end of paper:

	It's not the only system with this kind of power, nor does it
	always employ the best interface to its concepts.  What it does
	have, however, is a solid base to work from.  In the future, I
	imagine many new methodologies will be created to take advantage
	of the flexibilities Git allows.  Most other systems have led
	me to believe they've reached their conceptual plateau -- that
	all else from now will be only a slow refinement of what I've
	seen before.  Git gives me the opposite impression, however.
	I feel we've only begun to see the potential its deceptively
	simple design promises.
