Torvalds didn’t seem to have a very high opinion of it 😂
It took about a day to get to be “self-hosting” so that I could start committing things into git using git itself, so the first day or so is hidden, but everything else is there.
I know the context, I followed the thread, and I understood your argument to be that it was only a small project (you mentioned LOC).
But then I presented a counter argument that I’ve made repos for less code than that, so I don’t see how that’s an argument for “obviously” not using a VCS.
I sometimes feel like people throw around the term “obvious”. 🤷♂️
To me it wasn’t obvious because of my personal experience.
You didn’t use that term, but I feel like you presented your argument as an obvious fact. If you know what I mean. 😁
That first commit is only ~1000loc and reads and writes commits. It was almost certainly not using version control first.
Good point.
I’ve initialized repos and committed smaller first commits though. I’m not sure I follow this argument.

Yeah I mean I’m not saying it’s not true, I’m just not following your argument for why it’s true.
Context. I was replying to this comment claiming it was “probably” using VCS.
I thought explaining it was only a tiny project at that point would be enough.
