I found the Git documentation at http://git-scm.com/documentation to be 
sufficient. The end-user concepts in Git are the same as those in CVS and 
SVN, except that it is distributed. I started off using Git-SVN so that I 
could use the low cost branching while pushing my changes to a remote SVN 
repository. What I needed to learn more about was how to use Git branches 
and merges more efficiently. That is where the documentation really helped. 
Progressing from command-line CVS to TortoiseSVN and then to TortoiseGit 
really helped me appreciate how easy and efficient Git is.

Have you read the Git documentation above? If so, did it help?

Regards,
David

I've been using TortoiseGit and SourceTree, but I think you need to know
quite a bit about Git before even those tools make sense - things like
pull/fetch/rebase/merge/tracking branches, the fact that git 'head'
isn't the same as cvs/svn head etc.
