BitKeeper Love Triangle: McVoy, Linus and Tridge

erktrek writes "NewsForge has given a brief interview to the parties involved in the (inevitable?) BitKeeper debacle." Here is some of our previous coverage.

You git!

[AirLace]

Does the name 'git' strike anyone else as an odd name [kerneltrap.org] for a (kind-of) SCM system?

Or is this Linus making a not-so-subtle pot-shot at Larry McVoy?

Ewww

[elasticwings]

Wow, that is definitely one video I definitely wouldn't want to look for a torrent of.

Thanks for stripping out the formatting. I despise paragraph breaks, and now, I don't have to read them!

Re:Uh, a summary?

[Anonymous Coward]

Sadly, the terms for said source control system have become increasingly odious over time

No, the terms have stayed largely the same and Linus is happy to abide them.

What's changed is the gradual escalation of a select few's willingness to kick a gift-horse in the testicles and steal its teeth.

I remember reading that headline somewhere. I just forgot it was on April 1st [kde.org].

Damn you, Daniel Molkentin!!

Hey, it's the easy way to summarise! It can also be automated. Summariser v2.0 also stripes out spaces and punctuation to reduce article size even further! Coming soon from a /dev/urandom near you!

[ReverendLoki]

That's a bit out of context

That's not true. We here at Slashdot never take quotes out of context. What possible reason could you have for trying to mislead the readers like this?

Ahh, now the sordid truth comes out!

Based on one one his posts (see here [kerneltrap.org]) it might just as likely be aimed at Tridge (if it is aimed at anyone).

You are way off the mark and you have failed miserably as a Linus watcher. Linus obviously aims the "git" allusion at himself.
