I still remember when git was the hot new version control system, so old fashioned sounds funny to me.

I had the same reaction. Stow was first released (v>1.0) in 1996, git in 2013. Yet git is the old-fashioned choice? hahah.

1.0 of Git was actually 2005.

ah cool. i just had a look in the project's releases, 2013 was the first nonzero version they had listed there. I did wonder why they didn't list a v1.0 though.
