His language is pretty muddled in this talk. It's clear he didn't really spend a lot of time thinking about precise and unambiguous language for all of the things he was talking about. He also seems to conflate "branch" and "clone".

This muddled language later turned into a muddled UI that was supposed to get cleaned up, but never did.

I can't help but think that he was conveniently leaving out details that give the entire story - clearly he thinks the audience are unintelligent sheep, so surely they'll take him at his word, right?

In what way does git conflate "branch" and "clone"?
