Am probably biased but Git [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29 ] is perhaps the greatest contribution Torvalds has ever made to the F/LOSS community. He gave a nice talk on it at Google way back in 2007 [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8 ] Martin. On 4/26/12, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com> wrote:
