The invention of Git
Excellent analogy.
Wow. One of the comments on that post makes me wonder if it wasn't the historians themselves recording their identity as historians, when in fact they sound more like the royal press pool or even paparazzi; one "historian" only went with the king on a hunt by using a disguise. Kind of like how in a hundred years we will have a bunch of blog posts misidentified as journalism (burn).
