You can look at the code in the first commit Linus made. It is a very minimal yet functional version of Git.

Re:Cppfront, Herb Sutter's proposal for a new C++ syntax

I had the same reaction initially but then realized that this makes the variable declaration / initialization syntax very consistent.
variable: Type [= initial_value];
// initializes foo to an int with an initial value of 43
foo: int = 43;
// initializes main to a (presumably, as I haven't read the
// spec yet, const)pointer to a function that takes no
// arguments and returns an int.
main: () -> int = {
...
}

One commit with as many parents as merged branches. (A git commit can have an arbitrary number of parent commits.)
Try git cat-file -p $SHA

Yes. In the Ruby VM, an RVALUE [0] is a union (a "generic type") of structs that represent all the different kinds of Ruby object types and a couple of runtime types.
