It behaves like http push does in C git in that it is transparent to the end-user. Transparent client-side encryption can also be enabled, in case ... http://www.spearce.org/2008/07/using-jgit-to-publish-on-amazon-s3.html In honor of us moving from New York to California I have also moved the server that hosts spearce.org.  If you are reading this blog post, welcome to my new home away from home on the web.

Today I took a couple of redacted screenshots from two of the interesting parts of the history. The first image is from a set of octopus merges ... http://www.spearce.org/2007/07/difficult-gitk-graphs.html I have decided to no longer support pg, as I haven't used it myself in a very, very long time.  It was a useful tool and learning vehicle for myself and a few others, but it just isn't nearly as good as core Git with topic branches.  Or git-gui. http://www.spearce.org/2007/04/pg-is-for-sale.html I got curious about the growth rate for the git.git and linux-2.6.git repositories, so I wrote git-statplot to dump out object counts and sizes by earliest date entered.

Because I may not be able to get around to watching the show rigtht away I asked ... http://www.spearce.org/2006/09/mythtvs-deletion-logic.html I have never seen a discussion on sandwich making which was as worth reading as this one. Nicely done. http://www.spearce.org/2006/09/on-sandwich-making.html I'm running MythTV at home. Since May it has replaced our trustworthy ReplayTV in the living room as the primary TV viewing apparatus. Thus far its worked rather well for us, despite some odd user interface quirks that probably have more to do with the way I designed my Pronto ... http://www.spearce.org/2006/08/mysql-recovery-blows.html
