Actually I find git very suitable for small projects too. Why not just try it yourself, and find out? It's the best way. :-)

At least for Linux, I like it. On Windows you have to mess around with msysgit et al.

He just hurried through it & had absolutely no interest in building up any kind of coherent, sensible explanation of how Git is different than other version control systems. It's kinda sad, that something as cool as git has guys like him - who might be an amazing engineer - sucks at even the most basic explanation, evangelizing it. Don't lose hope though, git is really not as hard as he makes it out to be - check out jim weirich's 'gentle introduction to git' instead. Difference is night & day.

I got so sick of Linus talk after 5 minutes. I was simultanously falling asleep (CVS bla, CVS blub) and wanting to kill somebody (Everyone who agress with me is fat and ugly. Eat this mofos).

This talk is much better, and the comment about "Linus showed you what Git *is not*, I'm going to show you what Git *is*" at the start really shows what Randal thinks about Linux presentation. Helped to elevate my mood after the Linus talk, also.



Had to get this out of my system. Peace folks. ^_^

So why don't you install git and use it?
See if you like it or not.

I did and I do minus a few details. But that's no different from other tools that I like. It is currently #2 on my short-list of VC SW.

next, your post is not a "reply" to mine as mine addressed the quality of Schwartz's preso, not git itself. Many of Torvalds's and Schwartz's comments are based on CVS which is on the fast-track to obsolescence and was long before git. They MIGHT say something interesting if they understood that branching and merging are not inherently expensive nowadays.
