From CVS to Git

Another talk on Git?

Yes. Again. But this time, it's For Science. (And some people who still use CVS.)

In my previous talk I gave you knowledge on Git in general; how it does it's magic and introduced you to some basic branching and merging.

On this trip we'll compare CVS/SVN and Git, and explore how to use git and play nice with others.
