Comment Re:Linus should try git (Score 1) 449

The only locks in git are within single repositories. The locks which control distributed merging are controlled by the hashes which identify change sets. They tell a repo about the origin of the data being merged in. So rather than thinking about a static blob of data which changes sometimes and needs to be preserved while other nodes are working on it, you think of a graph which extends into the future, each node identified by its hash. By working this way it is easier to find places to reintegrate the results of processing which takes place remotely.
