Summary

Scott Chacon delivered a presentation at RubyConf in Florida discussing the innovative use of Git as a filesystem for Ruby applications, highlighting its strengths and suggesting potential applications where Git could serve as a data backend instead of traditional filesystems or simple databases. The talk required some prior Git knowledge and aimed to provide a fresh perspective on its application. Unfortunately, the video recording by Confreaks had a synchronization issue, with slides appearing seven seconds ahead of the video, which could make following the presentation challenging during rapid slide transitions. Chacon invites feedback on the talk's utility and mentions that a higher resolution version is available through Confreaks.
