Comment on The Go language's first commit (1972)parent

Comments

In 1972 the web was still only available in black and white and a typical consumer laptop was the size of a steamer trunk.

Sorry, what do you want to say with that? I was talking in general, why Git repositories might contain commits which precede the creation of Git by a large amount. And I am sure, while no one committed the code in 1972 to any kind of repository, that the code snipped with its date is genuine. At that time Kernighan was working with other legends off the Unix world on Unix and the C language.

There existed VCSs in 1972.
