I've been in love with git since it was first released. I know a lot of Digg users see Linus as an asshole, but he's just the kind of guy who calls bullshit when he sees it. There's a Google TechTalk of him explaining why he thinks git is better. http: … (see comment)

Has the quality of Digg really become so low that submitters won't even bother to read what they typed? I don't mind minor errors and I'm not a grammar nazi, but could we at least spell Microsoft correctly? Not only that, but it was misspelled in the ti … (see comment)
