Too bad the date stamps only can go back to 1970-1-1. It's neat, though, to be able to flip through the history like this.
Isn't there a better tool than git for plain text diffs?
I need to keep in practice with my French, so I've translated the README below. Let me know if I got anything wrong. ------ The French Civil Code, in Git Introduction Here is a little hack, the result of an afternoon of code: the Civil Code in Git. If one considers the law as a set of texts modified by the various assemblies of the state, one can consider them as a set of text files created collaboratively. The membe…

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Gay marriage (or "marriage for everyone") is a recent, substantial change to a law that is familiar to many French people. I thought it was a great example despite its somewhat controversial nature.
A quick look at the author's tweets reveals this is not as innocent as you seem to say it is. Plato once said something along the lines of: "those who mix art with politics must be either unsure of their art or of their political positions, if not both". We had engaged musicians, now we have engaged developers. This is all the same trash to me.
And seriously, every single new law is pushing somebody's agenda. The author could've chosen the "animals are human being" change and we'd have another you yelling not being fond of developers pushing their love for animals.

I'm really pleased that I was able to read all of the README despite not having read French for probably a year or more. I guess it was written in a very easy/academic style.

You should commit your translation
There's a Markdown version here, if someone wants it: https://gist.github.com/spinda/282452390bf6d6fbcc5b
Nice use of git, never thought of that. Who's up for other countries law books?
A quick github search indicates that Taiwan's laws might also be there at https://github.com/victorhsieh/tw-law-corpus using the https://github.com/g0v/twlaw exporter, Japanese laws seem to have been uploaded at https://github.com/riywo/law.e-gov.go.jp but just be a crawl/dump of law.e-gov.go.jp

One small point: I do not understand why you added "it" to the last sentence of the introduction. Your translation of that particular sentence feels weird to me, why not simply:
"And source code belongs in source control."
Also, maybe "différentes" (in the third sentence) could have been translated to "various"?

Aside, note that the original text itself has several errors. Many accents are missing, some letters or words are missing or doubled. I may submit a PR to correct them.
Moreover, the text includes many English words (not all of which are common in French). It even includes a barbarism: "tracker", from English "track" and French common verbal suffix "-er", supposedly a verb supposed to mean "to track" — a shame, since French has the verb "traquer" to express the same thing.
