Here’s a video of Linus Torvalds talking to Google developers about git.

In my opinion it’s not the correct way to make a great advertising campaign:

  1. you can not insult a big sector of developers (cvs and svn users), and potential customers of your software.
  2. you can not say that you have developed the best SCM in the world in 2 weeks… You have an ego problem, Linus.
  3. what a horrible slides….

However, we are going to forgive him for that. He has created Linux, the greatest and biggest Open Source project. If he is using git in this enormous project and works fine, if because he has all the reason and git rules. During his speech, he does a good observation, you don’t need to branch very fast, you to merge very fast.
