40 <application>Git</application> is a free and open source, distributed
41 version control system designed to handle everything from small to very
42 large projects with speed and efficiency. Every
43 <application>Git</application> clone is a full-fledged repository with
44 complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent
45 on network access or a central server. Branching and merging are fast and
46 easy to do. <application>Git</application> is used for version control of
47 files, much like tools such as <xref linkend="mercurial"/>,
48 <application>Bazaar</application>, <xref linkend="subversion"/>,
49 <ulink url="http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/">CVS</ulink>,
50 <application>Perforce</application>, and

307 it starts to decompress the docs. The <option>--no-same-owner</option>
308 option stops tar from preserving the user and group details of the
309 files. This is useful as that user or group may not exist on your
