Excellent! People writing important papers really should be using Git. When documents are extremely complex, previously removed portions can have pertinence later.

#25This is really cool stuff. Reminds me of a stripped down version of notch's live coding sessions for Ludum Dare. Any reason you chose LaTeX as your content dev language and publishing over something a little "easier" like DocBook XML and Publican (which uses LaTeX as an intermediate build language to create PDFs)? Is it required, what you're used to, or purity of notation?

#26That's really neat! I'm not sure if this is intentional because your work is private, but I would love it if I could click on the images or SHAs to go actually see the thing.
At the moment I'm a little hesitant to make it public. Partly because there's a large chunk of unpublished research in there, but also because some of the early drafts are a little embarrassing. Perhaps when the thesis is deposited (and hence public) I could add that in for "historical" interest.
