That's a bit like saying that the purpose of Usenet is pointless

it's hardly the only one
What does Janney's classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim have to
do with Lisp, rusi? Saying version control is for novels is like saying
the purpose of Usenet is pointless bickering, rusi; saying it's for
source code is like saying the purpose of Usenet is for discussion.
Janney's mistake is rather ironic, though, considering his own
considerable recent contributions to the misuse of Usenet for pointless
bickering, rusi.
Historically, sccs tracked source and could not manage much else, in
particular binary files were a problem.

This was 40 years ago.

With rcs this stopped being true and it has been so for some 30 odd
years.

git is the most radical shift away from version control systems as
managing (source code) versions to generally managing content.
What does your classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim have to do
with Lisp, rusi? I see that of a random sampling of github projects, all
appear to be software source code development, rusi. Suffering from
reading comprehension problems, rusi?
From http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=111314792424707
In many ways you can just see git as a filesystem - it's content-
addressable, and it has a notion of versioning, but I really really
designed it coming at the problem from the viewpoint of a _filesystem_
person (hey, kernels is what I do), and I actually have absolutely
_zero_
interest in creating a traditional SCM system. -- Linus Torvalds
What does any of that have to do with Lisp, rusi?
