Git's initial commit
Why are there multiple main() functions? I've never seen this style before. Is it multi-process?

There's a bunch of different utilities in there. Each has it's own main() function, and they're compiled into a bunch of binaries.

There are multiple main() functions because there are multiple programs! Check out

Look at the makefile, it just has a command line program for each basic operation.

Could just be initializers for different modules maybe?
