FAQ

Below are some frequently asked questions and corresponding answers.

Q: Is this project related to this other project named gittorrent?

A: No, not meaningfully related -- I asked the developers of that project if I could reuse their name and they said sure. Their design doesn't use a Distributed Hash Table at all (I think their project maybe predates BitTorrent's DHT!), whereas one is central to this project's design, so there's little in common other than the general idea of combining Git and BitTorrent.

Q: What about pull requests, issues, forks ...?

A: These may be imported into the git repository using a tool such as https://github.com/joeyh/github-backup, but there is no code to handle them specially.
