Summary

In August 2011, Google announced the addition of Git support to its Google Code Project Hosting platform, complementing the existing Subversion and Mercurial version control systems. Git, a popular distributed version control system used by projects such as the Linux kernel and Android, allows users to enjoy Google's project hosting features, including project updates, advanced issue tracking, and a VCS-backed wiki, with the added benefit of using Git. Users can easily create server-side clones of Git repositories and access resources for converting existing Subversion and Mercurial repositories to Git. The implementation leverages Google's HTTP-based infrastructure and the efficient "smart" HTTP protocol available in Git version 1.6.6 and later, with object data stored in a custom data store built on Bigtable for scalable and efficient source code repositories. The Git server implementation is partially powered by Dulwich to integrate with Google's Python-based system.
