That's a great video. Here's another, a Google Tech Talk on Mercurial: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7724296011317502612 It's a while since I watched them both, but as I recall, they both talk more about the ideas behind dvcs, less than they do the particular commands. So it's an easy listen. Linus makes great points about things like git not needing commit permissions as cvs does and how this changes the dynamics of the project for the better -- no people on the inside vs. those on the outside. And things like clone and diff and commit being instantaneous, encouraging exploratory development. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
