I'm assuming there was at least some scm in place before, but my few google searches haven't turned up what it was. Do you know? *edit: Didn't look hard enough

*edit: Didn't look hard enough, according to this: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started-A-Short-History-of-Git http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started-A-Short-History-o... it was just files and patches from 1991-2002. Seems crazy from a modern perspective...
- sp332 13y agoYeah, check this out from 1998 (two years before OP) https://lkml.org/lkml/1998/9/30/122 https://lkml.org/lkml/1998/9/30/122
- cshimmin 13y agoWait is this where the original idea for git came from?
- sp332 13y agoLarry McVoy was the BitKeeper guy. This was early in terms of distributed version control, but I have no idea if it was the first or just (for a while) the most popular. Linus wrote git using several lessons he learned from using BitKeeper. It's not just a copy, though.
