3 graphical tools for Git

In addition to looking at history, I'm most likely to use a graphical tool when I screwed something up and need to go rewrite history.

5 reasons system administrators should use revision control

When I worked on a team of 10-ish, we had our SVN server email all commits to the team. This gave everyone a chance to see what changes were being made in real time, even if it was to a part of the system they didn't normally touch. I personally found it really useful in improving my own work. I'd love to see more articles expanding on each of your points here (hint hint!)
