Description-en: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (MediaWiki interoperability)
Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
.
Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools.
Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
central server.
.
This package provides the mediawiki remote helper, which allows Git to
read from and write to a wiki such as Wikipedia as though it were a
remote Git repository, and a 'git mw' command that can show a preview
of how wiki markup will be rendered before pushing.
