We talked about alternative ways to contribute to Git itself without sending patches to the mailing list. Since a few months, there is a way: https://submitgit.herokuapp.com/
We couldn't find that mail with the overview of Git performance issues. Sorry!
During the conference, there was a lot of discussion regarding how the Git project could attract more users by allowing GitHub-style pull requests into their patch-based mailing list. Later Roberto offered a solution to the problem: submitGit.
This is the second part from our trip to Git-Merge 2015! Since we published part one, the recorded talks from the conference are now online at git-merge.com.

How to find lost stashes
During a discussion of git-lost-found (now deprecated in favor of git fsck --lost-found), we asked how to find dropped stashes. git fsck --lost-found will indeed show these as well, although you have to inspect them yourself to identify which came from stash.

00:01:40 Bio, welcome Adam
00:02:08 Tell us how you ended up here
00:05:41 What do you do at SUSE, or about the version control there
00:07:08 What do you think Git got right compared to other tools historically?
00:13:53 Tell us about your involvement with the Git project
00:19:55 What's it like to get code reviewed by the Git mailing list?
00:21:15 Your contribution is git check-ignore?
00:23:47 Tell us about git-deps
00:26:03 Explain these dependencies between commits
00:35:29 Is the dependency analysis made at runtime?
00:38:55 Can you use git-deps as an early-warning system for discovering conflicts?
00:48:23 Case in point: GUI tool for doing rebase --onto
00:51:14 How could git-deps be used in a GUI (musings)
00:54:53 Honorary mention of ungit
00:57:37 Would it be possible to use it in a tool to detect conflicts between unmerged branches?
01:01:27 Any plans or visions for the future of git-deps?

01:13:52 What is your favorite Git Pro Tip?
In this episode we talk to Mary Rose Cook about her recent experimental implementation of Git in JavaScript: Gitlet. We also talk about all kinds of things around understanding Git, and teaching it.
We should have talked about Ungit, but we didn't. Teaser: It will be mentioned in the next episode!
Here's a rough outline of questions asked:
00:00:46 Welcome to the show
00:01:18 Tell us your background
00:03:02 Do you teach Git at Hacker school?
00:03:49 Is Hacker School for programmers who want to get better?
00:04:37 Is Hacker School remote?
00:04:56 What does it cost?
00:06:25 Would you accept anyone who already has a job?
00:07:07 Is the Hacker School concept a common thing?
00:08:33 Any links for those who want to learn more about Hacker School?
00:08:51 What your Git experience?
00:10:09 How were you using Git/GitHub?
00:10:33 When/why did you start planning Gitlet?
00:12:21 What is Gitlet?
00:13:45 Can you install it and use it as a normal Git client?
00:14:38 What does it lack compared to the real Git?
00:16:04 Could you make it production ready if you outsourced the inner operations to libgit2?
00:18:12 Didn't the Learn Git Branching already implement Git in browser?
00:19:37 How did implementing Gitlet change the way you teach GIt?
00:21:08 Would I be a better Git teacher if I taught people the internals instead of the porcelain?
00:26:31 When should people who know Git take the next step to learn it deeper?
00:30:18 Why is it safer to do fetch before you go on an airplane?
00:31:01 Doesn't pull just update current branch while fetch gets everything?
00:32:10 Git fetch vs git pull
00:33:39 How can I get people to avoid merging origin/master to master?
00:39:53 Talk about the repeating patterns you found inside the Git operations
00:47:42 Talk about the beautifully annotated source code of Gitlet
00:52:50 Do you feel a lot of Git internals have leaked out in the user interface?
00:54:58 How can git reset and checkout be the same command for so different things?
00:57:53 Is it the same thing with git reset?
00:59:08 What would be your ideal Git tool?
01:01:54 Any plans for the future?
01:03:21 Anything you'd like to promote?
