Drupal.org is replacing its creaky CVS-based revision control system with Git. Time to git up to speed on Git!

A copy of the presentation slides are here : http://luhman.org/files/git-for-drupal.pdf

This session attempts to aid the transition for you by covering the following topics :

• Short history of revision control systems
• Installing Git (yes, it works great on Windows!)
• Git's killer feature - intra-repository branches
• Exit, stage left - Git's staging area
• What's the diff? diff, difftool, diff --stat
• Bisect your bugs away
• Transferring your changes
  • We don't need no stinking patches!
  • Go fetch! or Push-Me-Pull-You
• A touch of advanced topics
  • Remote tracking branches
  • Pre-commit hooks
  • Continuous integration with Hudson
  • Handling merge conflicts
  • Rebasing
  • Cherry picking
  • NetBeans integration
  • CVS or SVN integration
