At the Pittsburgh Perl Workshop last weekend, one of the best talks
was one where the speakers explained how git works internally using
tinkertoys and post-it notes.  It sounds silly (and it was, of course)
but was also really helpful in understanding what was going on with
branches, merging, rebases, etc.  Skimming through this document, it
looks like it might be doing much the same thing, but in more detail.
