In particular, I think it's really useful to show a commit graph with
branching and merging, and introduce refs as movable pointers to commits
in the graph, and local branches as refs that you move and tracking refs
as refs that copy values in other repositories.
I'd very strongly second this. If somebody is really into screencasts
(and especially from the Ruby circle, I would guess), this may be worth
a look:

I saw a couple of technical inaccuracies in the presentation (I do not
expect any presentation or screencast to be perfect; I've never seen one
without any technical error anyway, perhaps other than my own at OLS a few
years ago), but otherwise it was very well done. Espcially the part that
builds the commit ancestry chains I was very happy to see it taught like
so.

Thank you very much for the plug, Junio.

Could you let me know what the biggest inaccuracies were? I would like
to correct my mistakes and update the slides.
Cheers,

BTW, if anyone is interested in the SVGs used for the slides...
git clone git://tachyon.jukie.net/intro-to-git.git/
You will need inkscape and latex-beamer to build the PDF.
Feel free to use them as you wish with attribution. Although my may
want to wait till I fix the mistakes that Junio mentioned.
