Well, twitpic.com seems down now. In any case, I should note that I didn't find this diagram anywhere close to being "useful" because it was a photo of a hand-drawn, and hard-to-understand diagram drawn on a blackboard. Maybe it was OK on the spot, but it was very frustrating to see it on the Web. If Schwern wanted it to be more useful, he could have prepared a better, computerised version using Inkscape ( http://www.inkscape.org/ ), Dia ( http://projects.gnome.org/dia/ ) or whatever. Otherwise, it's completely unprofessional and hard-to-understand. > Comments point to http://www.gitcasts.com/posts/railsconf-git-talk from > Ruby conf. > How is this related in any way? Regards, Shlomi Fish P.S: a git tip I discovered : while git diff does a diff to the untracked file, one can use "git diff HEAD" to diff the ones that were "git add"ed already to the one in the repository.
