Only git wasn’t done in 10 days. It was very quickly able to track its own development, but it still took Linus half a year of thinking to be able to make git.
(No, sorry, I can’t find the interview that would validate that claim.)
Not to mention years of using BitKeeper and knowing exactly what he wanted.
And it sounds like somebody on the kernel team reverse engineered the internals of bit keeper so they would have a clear understanding of precisely how it worked - but more importantly the ways that it didn't suit their workflow
