I think it's safe to state we'll be making heavy use of git branch/merge.

I'm starting to roll my own based on the Pro-git explanation, but don't want to re-invent the wheel, especially since someone else's is likely to be rounder than mine....
Channel 9 just put up a 1 hour intro to Git today. https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Visu...arted-with-Git
