thread_title:  Linus's quote 

message: The change can be found at .  In Linux (and git) development, Linus Torvalds is generally referred to as "Linus", so the revised paragrah sounds a trifle odd.  Still, one likes to think carefully about undoing something that someone else thought was an improvement, so I'll leave this up for a while to collect comments.  Does wikipedia have a policy that's relevant? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.35.100.1 (talk • contribs) 03:24, 10 May 2006
: Using the surname is far less chummy. The name people use on mailing lists quite often doesn't match how they're formally referred to. Chris Cunningham 12:34, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Missing link 

message: I found this interesting thread on the git mailing list: Trivia: When did git self-host?.  Maybe someone wants to incorporate that information into the article. --88.134.67.237 14:08, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Trivia: When did git self-host? 

message: Urgh. This is practically unreadable just now. I'll try to tackle some of the more egregious bits straight away, probably by deleting them. Chris Cunningham 11:54, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Done for now. The internal gubbins section needs reordered, and it looks like there's massive ref duplication, but can't do everything at once. Chris Cunningham 13:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Serious cleanup needed 

message: I nuked the expansive mailing list portal section, along with things which had been dead for ~18 months and some tutorial links. There were some links which may contribute useful info to the article; for now I've commented them out. I'll move them to talk on the next pass. Please try to find them homes in the article itself if they contain notable info. Chris Cunningham 13:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Junio C Hamano, A note from the maintainer, 2007-02-16
I just found this interesting mailing list post, sent out every few months by git's maintainer.  It describes how to retrieve git, how to contribute, and also how development takes place.  I don't know if it's worth mentioning in the article, but I think it's useful at least on this page for people like me how always wondered what these topic branches (master, maint, next, pu) were all about. --88.134.67.237 14:29, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  git's development process explained 

message: I notice that this change deleted the example, leaving the section confusingly incomplete.  Should the section be deleted entirely, or what should it contain and how big should it be?  I'm willing to do the writing, but could use guidance on the goals.  (Please purge this section from the discussion page if/when the issue is settled.)  71.41.210.146 06:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  What should be done with the "Using Git" section?
