This bug found thanks to the 'demo' effect. ;-)

The workshop had a 2hr slot -- after 2hs 15, I asked Linus if he wanted to talk about the internals. He did, and the workshop went on... for 2 hours more. It was actually hard to get people out of the room.

Sadly, not many people actually played along on their laptop. Those who did got an extra bit of help to migrate their preexisting CVS/SVN repos ;-) (thanks to Sam Vilain for all the help!)

I'll upload the presentation material soon -- very similar to the stuff I used @ Wellington Perl Mongers. Still text-based; given all the talk about plumbing and porcelain, I steadfastly refuse to add imagery.

During the presentation someone mentioned errors when running git-cvsimport which I'm keen on hearing more about.

cheers,
