#3"Most people were using CVS or other proprietary version control systems"?

#4They've ignored Git's superior branching scheme though. Once you use Git for a while and get a hang of branches, you won't want to go back to the Subversion way of doing it.

#5"Most people were using CVS or other proprietary version control systems"?
Think he meant to put pauses around proprietary: "Most people were using CVS or other, proprietary, version control systems"

#7Subversion is better than Git because many people use Git in a centralized manner? Wouldn't that make Git better, since it offers more options?
Re: Why Subversion is better than Git
#8He seems to be saying that svn is better than git because _some_ git users have a central repository they work against, and because they are planning on adding some features that might to some extent allow them to mimic a few things git already can do. That's just about the weakest argument for svn over git I've ever heard.
Then the went on to use the word "enterprise" about 10 times in 30 seconds. Not convincing.
