With this last week's release, there was a couple of small fires to put out essentially live in production. Talk about a mess.
Then I got an email, that I get all the time with console utils and open source apps, and it's almost as if it was made for me.
There is a version control tool that has been around for a while, quietly, for at least 3ish years from what I can tell by it's git repo, that's right a git repo, even though it's another VCS. That's part of its brilliance, it can still use git as a storage layer, or dropbox, or rsync or just a filesystem. (Which I know you can do with git too, sort of.)
So, I read the docs, yes it's another tool syntax I would have to learn, but it doesn't seem to complicated, from what I read around, it only takes about a day's use to get used to.
And it's log looks clean.

But, I'll read the docs some more and try it out in a smaller repo to get the hang of it.
Until then here are my numbers for the week.
