It's not short but I found it interesting in places and it's a sales
pitch for git (and to a lesser extent the distributed source control

I've not watched this next one yet, but I'm thinking it might be worth a view

I note both are a couple of years old, and that git development is
quite active.  The git mailing list is busy, but I've always found
