Read at: Choosing a Distributed Version Control System; follow-up: Why I Chose Mercurial.

Important opinions from Subversion developers:

Karl Fogel: “Subversion, decentralized version control, and the future”

Ben Collins-Sussman: “The Risks of Distributed Version Control”

Git 1.5.3 was released by Junio Hamano on Sep 3rd. Read more at:

Garry Dolley posted the module for Capistrano (that’s Ruby on Rails deployment tool) which allows it to use Git as the source control system.

Read more and download at “Capistrano 2.0 with Git shared repository”.

Zack Rusin created useful Git cheat sheet.

See “Git cheat sheet” for several sizes.

There is also a similar Mercurial cheat sheet at http://www.ivy.fr/mercurial/ref/v1.0/
