>    When you have hundreds of people simultaneously patching 25000 files
>    of the Linux Kernel in sometimes conflicting ways, you might need some
>    scheme or plan to sort all that out before you can build your next
>    kernel and reboot. The Linux team uses "git" for their source code
>    repository management, a homegrown solution that is optimized for
>    highly distributed development, working with huge sets of files,
>    merging independent work at multiple levels, and seeing who broke
>    what. (Git has also since been notably adopted by the Cairo, x.org,
>    and Wine teams, and is being transitioned to by the Mozilla
>    codebase). In my talk, I describe what "git" is and isn't, and why you
>    should use it instead of CVS, Subversion, SVK, Arch, Darcs, Mercurial,
>    Monotone, Bazaar, and just about every other repository manager. I'll
>    also walk though the basic concepts so that the manpages might start
>    making sense. If I have time, I'll even do a live walkthrough, where
>    you can watch how fast I make typos.

>    Randal Schwartz is a two-decade veteran of the software industry.
>    He is skilled in software design, system administration, security,
>    technical writing, and training. Randal has coauthored the "must-have"
>    standards: Programming Perl, Learning Perl, Learning Perl for Win32
>    Systems, and Effective Perl Learning, and is a regular columnist for
>    WebTechniques, PerformanceComputing, SysAdmin, and Linux magazines.
>    His offbeat humor and technical mastery have reached legendary
>    proportions worldwide (but he probably started some of those legends
>    himself).

>Our meetings are the THIRD TUESDAY of every month at 6:30pm (please do
>not arrive before 6pm) in the downstairs room at the Eugene City Brewery.
