"In many ways you can just see git as a filesystem — it's content-addres When most SCMs store a new version of a project, they store the code delta or diff. When Git stores a new version of a project, it stores a new _tree_ - a bunch of blobs of content and a collection of pointers that can be expanded back out into a full directory of files and subdirectories. If you want a diff between two versions, it doesn't add up all the deltas, it simply looks at the two trees and runs a new diff on them. -This is what fundamentally allows the system to be easily distributed - it doesn't have issues figuring out how to apply a complex series of deltas, it simply transfers all the directories and content that one user has and another does not have but is requesting. It is efficient about it - it only stores identical files and directories once and it can compress and transfer its content using delta-compressed packfiles - but in concept, it is a very simple beast. Git is at it's heart very stupid-simple. +This is what fundamentally allows the system to be easily distributed - it doesn't have issues figuring out how to apply a complex series of deltas, it simply transfers all the directories and content that one user has and another does not have but is requesting.
