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

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