RIP.md

Who is Shawn O. Pearce? Any software engineer who use Git, Eclipse EGit, JGit and Gerrit, Android should read these 3 lines about him:

In GitHub in total we have 4 c project with stars > 21k. Git is one of them. By the end of Jan 2018, Shawn is still the third one in the 1168 contributors. 2005 Linus Torvalds starts Git. Early 2006 Shawn starts JGit. 2008 Shawn starts Gerrit. which is used by Android source code and other open source projects.

Shawn used different email in same project or different projects. Not easy to find all his contribution by far.

RIP This is a sad news.
