Technically correct title would be: s/Kernel into/Kernel Git History into/

    Pgit: I Imported the Linux Kernel Git History into PostgreSQL

Wow that has a very different meaning from what I thought.

If I recall correctly, the Fossil SCM uses SQLite under the covers for a lot of its stuff.

Obviously that's not surprising considering its creator, but hearing that was kind of the first time I had ever considered that you could translate something like Git semantics to a relational database.

I haven't played with Pgit...though I kind of think that I should now.

a fossil repository file is a .sqlite file yes


Makes sense, I haven't used the software in quite awhile.

Read the title and immediately thought "what a weird way to solve the performance loss with kernel 7..." The mind tricking itself :)

very nice, thank you for the effort spent to do this and the results
