Stefan Sperling (stsp@), a ten-year contributor to the OpenBSD project and one of the main developers of Apache Subversion, is developing a new version control system called "Game of Trees" (got). When creating a new system, priority is given to simplicity of design and ease of use rather than flexibility. Got is currently still in development; it is developed exclusively on OpenBSD and its target audience […]
