Hi,

a couple of week ago I read a blog post, a paper or an article about
how a simple scm could be designed step by step and how this would
become git in the end. It explained really nicely how things in git
work and why. Does anybody know which document I am talking about? I
can't find it anymore...

Thanks,
Eric
