Interesting introduction to Git. Suggestion for future talks would be to explain the staging tree.

HEAD | INDEX | WORKING DIRECTORY

This helps identify what's going on while someone is modifying files, why they need to stage the files (git add), and what the difference is between a commit and a push.

Also, here is a funny visual [http://xkcd.com/303] for when you talk about sword fighting during a merge.

Great feedback as to why you won't merge back into your local master when you branch your code. Master should only receive updates from upstream.

As a call to action you could send folks off to http://try.github.com to get them started with GitHub and a very simple introduction to Git.

I would like to thank the 6 people that have worked on signin with twitter for letting me comment on this site :)

Great talk, I've finally realised why everyone says branches are so easy in Git

Great introduction to Git with all its advantages over old version control systems (subversion *cough*).
