#EpicGames Announces #Lore #OpenSource #VersionControlSystem
While there is Git LFS for large file storage with #Git, Epic Games has crated Lore as a version control system designed entirely around the large file needs of modern game development as well as multimedia/entertainment purposes. Lore is designed to be fast and efficient for large files including binary files, and be easy-to-use including for 3D artists and more.

Just got my mind blown, as you might have read I started to use conventional git commits, trying to bundle my commits in a good fashion way with valuable commit messages.

As I created a merge request today I just noticed how much easier reviewing will be as you can click on commits made on this review and only see changes related to example a refactor or an feature.

If I understand your question correctly, @b0rk, you'd like to know where the term HEAD for the currently-checked-out revision in a #versionControlSystem *originally* came from.

If (be it for its own sake, or as an intermediate (first) step towards answering that above question) you're *also* interested in where #Git got it from or what the rational for that naming in Git was, maybe we can just ask @torvalds whether he remembers?

@frankiesaxx yeah, I think that if they should up at your door, you probably *can* call them a #grammarNazi 😂

Thanks for your feedback. :)

I think it all is a good argument to have your content publicly available under some kind of #versionControlSystem such as for instance #git, #bzr or #mercurial, so people can just submit patches.

I guess what we're missing is easy front ends for less tech-savvy contributers, especially in the form of plugins for #wordpress and #blogger.
