[TUHS] A Retrospective on the Source Code Control System

[Rik Farrow]

Very nicely written history, as well as explanation of how systems
differed. I appreciated reading this, but especially enjoyed one of the
closing paragraphs on the future:

How am I supposed to know? AI is already doing some coding. Maybe in ten or
twenty years it will do all of it. Will AI need version control? If it
does, will it be the latest version of Git, or maybe something invented by
AI?

Thanks Marc
Rik
