Happy birthday to git ... one year old today. Counting the "birth" as the point at which Linus made the first commit of the git sources into git:

 commit e83c5163316f89bfbde7d9ab23ca2e25604af290
 Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org>
 Date:   Thu Apr 7 15:13:13 2005 -0700

    Initial revision of "git", the information manager from hell
