Linus Torvalds on Git

I know all you redditors have already seen this one, but it was worth a special mention. Linus Torvalds talks here about Source Control in general, and the proper way to do it - using a distributed model. What's special here is his outline of how we should be thinking about source control applications (distributively, many developers using their own local branches, merging within a network of trust), rather than a narrow technical discussion. He talks extemporaneously, and follows a loose outline. The result is very absorbing.
