@sytse Thanks! One of the display challenges for the git repositories was to display actual dates of the commits instead of the pushes since these commits have to be "simulated in the past" and gitlab was the perfect tool to do that.
We hope to be able one day to consider each voted amendment as an individual commit as we did in a previous prototype <https://gitorious.org/law-is-code/demo_bill_hopital/commits/... but it happens to be a lot more complex than anticipated because diffs between two texts are in fact more than just what the voted amendments propose because of "legistic" modifications at each step. Maybe with another release ;)
GitLab B.V. CEO here, very cool project, it shows the potential impact of distributed version control on the lawmaking process. I had to look twice to see what this was based on but if you click on the 'Git' link in the top right you go to a source url like http://git.lafabriquedelaloi.fr/parlement/pjl12-689/
A few years ago I envisioned generating a git repo by scraping légifrance, not unlike the unix history repo[0]. Nice to see such things come into fruition.
