SourcePuller[1] is an open-source client for accessing the BitKeeper version control system. It was originally developed by Andrew Tridgell, who – according to BitKeeper developer Larry McVoy – reverse engineered the BitKeeper protocol.[2] While not widely used itself, it is best known for triggering the BitKeeper controversy,[3] [4] which sparked the switch of the Linux kernel from BitKeeper to Git.[5]
