This part I have some trouble buying. In Linus' world, *his* repository is central... well, at least, it's the master from which releases are spun. In a project where we don't have a single arbiter for what goes into a release, I'm not sure we can have a master.
I think the point with GIT is that *any* GIT repository can be referred to as a master because there is no real difference between the one that started it and the ones cloned from it. Development can occur in either repository and either can act as "client" (slave, or whatever) to the other.
Sure. My point is that if you're going to release a body of code, you have to at some point agree where the master repo for that code is. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
