     @civodul Why are you recommending the execution of proprietary JavaScript? (after all, without it, that page does nothing useful).
     
     (gitlabs JavaScript is only licensed under MIT expat when it has been obfuscated via "compiling" and "assembling" processes - with the exception of a few files, the JavaScript in source form has no license).
     
     A freedom-respecting way to post that link would be either; `git clone https://gitlab.com/guile-git/guile-git.git` or https://lab.vern.cc/gitlab.com/guile-git/guile-git/ but really it would be better to use a git host that respects your freedom, as well as others.

     @civodul As above, I prefer `git clone https://gitlab.com/guile-git/guile-git.git`, as you can paste that right into bash and it will work with or without quotes and it's clear that you are not recommending the execution of proprietary JavaScript.

     @Suiseiseki One can run ‘git clone https://gitlab.com/…’. The page itself isn’t that useful anyway, at least in this case.

     Which reminded me of one thing: C is a terrible language, but because it’s terrible, it has led to the development of amazing tools to work around its weaknesses.

     I’m saying this because I debugged the damn thing with Valgrind + GDB (Valgrind implements the “remote” protocol of GDB so you can GDB into a process running under Valgrind), an impressive combo.

     “Interesting” thing is that Guile-Git’s test suite allowed me to find a uninitialized-value bug introduced in libgit2 1.8.1 (a patch release).
