git is such a beautifully elegant concept and execution... it's so simple that i still often find myself grappling with exactly what the heck a particular command does and when it should be used.

i personally always get a small giddy thrill when i see such a wide spectrum of applications from a simple underlying concept... just like these. and each application alone is cool! DB, wiki, dropbox-clone... very, very cool stuff when considering the implications of integration on /that/ level.

but apparently this isn't a universal sentiment, given some of the comments on this thread (that i am genuinely surprised at, given what i would think is the typical "curious/hacker" mentality of the crowd here).

Could you elaborate on what you mean by "document oriented db with version control"? Couch stores revision identifiers with every document ID, though old versions are subject to deletion whenever DB compaction occurs...

Love it. How does it "move" though -- so far all I've done is buy stuff? (Investments 'n such).
