We recently switched from SVN to Git and the transition has been painful - last week there has been at least one issue pr. day that has stopped work and that needed to be addressed. Personally, I have used Git before via github and it has worked well (tho' my usage was mostly doing small updates, no branches, no merges etc.)

My current impression of Git is that it's very powerful, but too low level and not that user friendly. I am currently evaluating Mercurial, since it seems to be easier to use and more user friendly.

Anybody have experiences working with both Git and Mercurial with a team of 5-10 people?

am i being an idiot? I can't see a way to change slides :s

Click inside the content, then use the keyboard arrow keys to move around.

For someone looking only at the tips, this is sadly very unfriendly. Basically, you need to click or press more than 300 times on your keyboard to go through. This cannot be used as a reference even so some stuff were interesting (I gave up at slide 84). I welcome a reformatting as a cheat sheet by a courageous reader :)

I'd love to learn a bit more about git, but this is pretty worthless as just the slides.

These ones are advanced tips. I'll send you more beginner resources later on.

Advanced tips is what I was looking for. I can see it being some standalone material, perhaps I shouldn't just be browsing over it.
