Well written overview of the advantages of Git for development. I’m keeping an eye on this for now, but there’s one random thought that comes to mind: Linus Torvalds is a really, really smart guy. First, he has shepherded Linux, and now another of his “itches” has turned into a widely used and enthusiastically supported project. No, Git isn’t as successful as Linux yet. But imagine if it is? How many people do this twice?

This is dedicated to the Maven 2/Spring/IntelliJ crew at ESPN.com. And, it’s a great talk anyway if you’re moderately interested in Source Control and development processes. It’s good fodder to think about how Open Source differs from internal projects. Could be a cool idea, though, for cross department collaboration (which is essentially open source, right).
