Got a new git-compatible version control system for OpenBSD
Stefan Sperling (stsp@), a ten-year member of the OpenBSD project, and one of the main developers of Apache Subversion, develops new version control system "Game of Trees" (got). When creating a new system, simplicity of design and ease of use are prioritized over flexibility. Now Got is still in development; it is developed exclusively on OpenBSD and its target audience is the OpenBSD developers. The code is distributed under a free license ISC (equivalent to the simplified BSD and MIT license).
Got uses git repositories to store versioned data. Currently, only local versioning operations are supported. At the same time, git can be used for any functionality that is not yet implemented in got - it will always be possible to work with got and git in the same repository.
Main current to The project is about working with OpenBSD developers who want to regularly use got for their work on OpenBSD and improving versioning operations based on their feedback.
The main principles of the project:
Following the security rules and coding style of OpenBSD;
Development process based on code reviews via email;
