What was that client? Not pan, was it? Linux platform? MS? Something
new, perhaps on github, or an older, traditional client, now moved to git
for development?
It's interesting to see git come from humble beginnings to taking over
the (D)VCS landscape and becoming the generic assumed default, much like
Linux itself did, pretty much everywhere but the desktop. It's what new
developers still learning or just coming online are using and familiar
with now, and has displaced proprietary and freedomware VCS alike.
What was interesting was to watch even the Chinese government decide it
couldn't great-firewall off github, as it'd bring Chinese software
development to a standstill. So they resorted to trying to DDoS the repos
behind the target anti-censorship apps, instead, using the great firewall
to redirect to and serve up the ddos malware. That's some pretty big
enemies! But the DDOS was controlled and resisted.
