Comment on Initial revision of "git", the information manager from hellparent

Comments

You do realize that the git-* binaries by default hardlink to the "git" binary, right? Git is built as a single binary, and uses the program name to pick the right command.

My half-done AROS port of git (which admittedly does exclude some stuff) currently stands at 1.8MB, with the only external dependency so far being the C library. But the "git" binary has 104 links.

EDIT: Slight correction: There are certainly a number of additional binaries, e.g. for things like "git-instaweb", but the core functionality is held in the main "git" binary.
