It was a joke, but good point. However I would feel silly imitating another open source prject so closely. But hey, why not? It happens all the time.	[reply]

git and hg were both started within a couple of weeks of each other, in response to the free (lower-case "f") licences of BitKeeper being withdrawn. Neither is really an imitation of the other; any similarity is probably mostly down to the system they were both designed to replace. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply]
