Draft of Git Rev News edition 60

Draft of Git Rev News edition 60

[Christian Couder]

Hi everyone!

A draft of a new Git Rev News edition is available here:

  https://github.com/git/git.github.io/blob/master/rev_news/drafts/edition-60.md

Everyone is welcome to contribute in any section either by editing the
above page on GitHub and sending a pull request, or by commenting on
this GitHub issue:

  https://github.com/git/git.github.io/issues/410

You can also reply to this email.

In general all kinds of contribution, for example proofreading,
suggestions for articles or links, help on the issues in GitHub, and
so on, are very much appreciated.

I tried to cc everyone who appears in this edition, but maybe I missed
some people, sorry about that.

Jakub, Markus, Kaartic and me plan to publish this edition on Wednesday
February 19th in the afternoon.

Thanks,
Christian.

I spotted a typo:

"Many attempts at importers silently botch this in practice, but least it handled automatically in theory"

should be

"Many attempts at importers silently botch this in practice, but it can be handled automatically in theory"

A couple of typos and an IMO awkward phrasing, all in the "Git tools and
sites" section:

* In the "Github and Government" entry: s/Ggather/gather/
* In the "Shell Git" entry: s/that a practical/than a practical/
* In the "git-tfs" entry: s/no more actively/not actively/

Hi Eric,

I have observed that you have used the expression *<word>* four times
(see grep excerpt below) in your article - do you intend to have it
printed like *different* 
or just have it transformed to italic by Markdown?

Best regards,
Markus


~/git/git.github.io> egrep '\*[a-z]+\*' rev_news/drafts/edition-60.md 
it as a DSL (domain-specific language) designed to be *scripted* --
to actually *need* the full power of a domain-specific language
*different* version-control systems, you have to deal with the
problem so deep that the *very* complete
