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

290 it starts to decompress the docs. The <option>--no-same-owner</option>
291 option stops tar from preserving the user and group details of the
