Believe me, I would do backflips if someone wanted the BK source base, it's got almost 2 decades of my work in it, north of 140 man years. It's a lot to just let fade away.
But I assembled a team of people better and smarter than me, I did my best to keep the code simple but I didn't always succeed.
If you, or anyone, wants to pick it up, I'm happy to answer questions.
At this point, the trick to creating a sizable git alternative I think is to Trojan horse coding into a new realm with “no-code” like apps.
One of my favorites is Fossil by Richard Hipp. I wonder what your thoughts on it are. I think it is RCS, but usability wise I think it’s way ahead of git.
I just recently learned C and I really like the coding style Hipp uses as well. :)
Richard is awesome. He also did sqlite. As for Fossil, I'm a fan of his UI and code, but haven't looked in detail at the design. I'm pretty sure it is patch based with everything stored in sqlite. It's an OK way of doing things but not if you understand a weave.
But no disrespect intended towards Richard, I've met him plenty of times and enjoyed it each time. Great guy.
