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

289 option stops tar from preserving the user and group details of the
