+1 from me on a basics list (from Justin's email earlier in this thread). I've been watching and reading these threads as carefully as possible. I'm working with Alex on FlexJS and my git experience is minimal. I've found conflicting "best practices" in git information, so it would be good to have a definitive reference for our Apache Flex project. I've downloaded Sourcetree and I'll see how I like that. So far it seems fine with the flex-sdk changes it detected.
I'll also try to be more present on these lists and add my opinion. I think we're headed in the right direction, but I do see conflicting git information, esp about merge and rebasing, but we'll sort it out. Let's all just have patience if someone gets it wrong and help them out.
