In addition to what Philip has said, I would recommend "Git from the bottom up" [1, 2] and "Git for computer scientists" [3], which are not-so-gentle introductions to Git focussing precisely on how Git works under the hood rather than explaining what a VCS and DVCS and so on and so on. The next stop should probably be exploring the source code of the `git cat-file` and `git ls-tree` commands.
