Git is a distributed revision control / software code management project created by Linus Torvalds, initially for the Linux kernel development.

Git's design was inspired by BitKeeper and Monotone. Git was originally designed only as a low-level engine that others could use to write front ends such as Cogito or StGIT. However, the core Git project has since become a complete revision control system that is usable directly. Several high-profile software projects now use Git for revision control, most notably the Linux kernel, X.org Server, One Laptop per Child (OLPC) core development, and the Ruby on Rails web framework.

We could use Git to maintain article revisions for Extension:P2P.
