Video: Linus Torvalds on git

Albeit an old video, a fun talk about the merits of git, I was never really bothered with git before this. Haven't looked back.

Circa 2007. Still a classic though.

This is the video that convinced me to switch to git. I had git evangelists talk it up for the longest time before this, but they never laid out the benefits as well as he does here.

There seems to be an abundance of naught-era news here. On the other hand I get to keep making "200X called" jokes about Hacker News. I win either way, so I'm not complaining.

Great video. There is a transcript for those who prefer to read: <a href="https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/LinusTalk200705Transcript" rel="nofollow">https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/LinusTalk200705Transcr...</a><p>I'd watch the video anyway, since Linus is awesome on stage.

Was there some newsworthy reason this rather old video was resubmitted?
