Now that Mono has moved to GitHub, a number of contributors (including myself) have been somewhat lost, not knowing how to properly use Git. So today, I'm recommending a book to help all the lost souls out there get comfortable with using Git.
As many long-time programmers probably know, O'Reilly books are top notch. Most probably also would not be surprised that O'Reilly has a book covering Git: Version Control with Git: Powerful Tools and Techniques for Collaborative Software Development.
Don't let the bat scare you.

I was there 6 months ago
I can recommend the following online resources
"Git Magic" (pdf/html)
- this is a relatively shallow introduction geared towards people with plenty of dev/vcs experience
"Pro Git" (pdf/html)
- This is more like a comprehensive book and a task-based reference. This will also cover the advanced operations, and the benefit is that you can glean the best practices from those.
I bought this book as well a year ago after GNOME moved to Git. You're right, it's a good one!
There is also free alternative:

I just got this book too. It's a nice read. I can recommend it :)
Don't forget the really helpful people on the #git irc channel on freenode and to add a twitterfall on tweetdeck for a search on #git
