You mean the one where an existing project with several years of history has its development tree imported into github as its first commit?

I remember the memcached project being announced, and I'm pretty sure it predated github by five years or more.

I have no idea what link you clicked on. The one above says this:

Specifically, that was Tue May 27 07:19:11 2003 +0000.

I spent a long night back in 2008 recreating that history as accurately as possible. It involved a couple of git repositories, subversion repositories, and a lot of google and mailing list searches to ensure that every one who ever contributed to the project was properly recognized.

You can read more about that process here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg00...

My apologies, and thanks for the exact date. I missed that the github commit date was in 2003. (If you miss that, your reply comes off as really snarky. Mine was a bit blunt, too.)
