Years, actually. See https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqk1ydkbx0.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com/; you could argue the work started before that or after that point, but it gives a rough estimate of how long work has been ongoing (with several stops and starts along the way). > However, I don't think I've ever seen an explanation of what "ort" means= . I know it means "place" in German, but that seems an unlikely usage beca= use git project generally works in English. I don't know of it as a word i= n English. So maybe it's an acronym - ORT. But what does that mean? > > So, can someone please say what "ort" means? Already responded down-thread so I won't repeat here. :-)
