[HECnet] PyDECnet 1.0-556

[David Moylan]

I'm not sure what the hate here is. 

Git was written by Linus Torvalds in reaction to how bad all of the other distributed version-control systems at the time were.

At an earlier stage the Linux kernel development team were using BitKeeper, but BitKeeper pulled their free community license after Tridge reverse engineered some of the BitKeeper protocols.

Linus was very unhappy with all of the other solutions available that didn't meet his criteria, so he created Git.

It's now become the number one version control system.

So what exactly is it that people are disliking?

Cheers, Wiz!!
