4:20 I think the metadata is the file permisions, time stamp, etc.
10:20 I think octomerge is short for octopus merge denoting "lots of branches" 😛

Really cool video :)

Thanks. This is fun! I would like to know more about the underlying algorithm on how git compares two commits! Please make a part two on this if possible.

Could you explain the pty module? The documentation doesn't say that much. I'm wondering if you could use it as input to a subprocess to fake that you're running out in a terminal.

6:54 paintDotNet has pretty good arrows if you use the line tool. edit: ooh, paintdotnet's oss competitor pinta's version 2 came out in the last year, its line tool lets you draw more than one arrow before taking away the control knobs.

This is pretty cool. I never wondered how git looks like from the inside, basically was just mindlessly using it.

Now I'm curious if Fossil does the same?
