DVCS adoption is soaring among open source projects

,----[ Quote ]
| Distributed version control systems (DVCS) are being adopted at a rapid pace 
| by the open source software community. A large number of prominent open 
| source projects are abandoning legacy management systems such as Subversion 
| and CVS in favor of more powerful decentralized alternatives. The most 
| popular of these are Git, Bazaar and Mercurial.

GitHub unites Version Control with the Pastie

,----[ Quote ]
| What does this mean for pastie users? Each pastie, or gist, is its own Git
| repository. By placing pasties inside a git repository, GitHub is able to
| redefine how pasties work.
|
| [...]
|
| Even though GitHub is only about eight months old, they already host just
| over 10,000 open source projects. More importantly, they are already
| profitable with paying customers for their private repository hosting service
| numbering in the thousands.

Git Spawns a Business

,----[ Quote ]
| The up-and-coming version control system git has begun to prove its mettle
| outside of Linux kernel development. The Ruby on Rails community has embraced
| it wholeheartedly with many core projects migrating to the system recently.
| The climate has become right for businesses to spring up in the wake of this
| adoption.

Git is the next Unix

,----[ Quote ]
| Much like Unix itself, git's actual software doesn't matter; it's the file
| format, the concepts, that change everything.
|
| Whether they're called git or not, some amazing things will come of this.
