I just found this link:

"A Guide to GIT using spatial analogies"
"Unlike more primitive version control systems, git repositories are not
linear, they already support branching, and are thus best visualised as trees
in their own right. Branches thus become trees of trees. To visualise this,
it’s simplest to think of the state of your repository as a point in a high-
dimensional ‘code-space’, in which branches are represented as n-dimensional
membranes, mapping the spatial loci of successive commits onto the projected
manifold of each cloned repository."
:D
For some reason I thought it might be interesting for at least Evert.
