git's underlying concept is simple.  It's highly unintuitive on top of
that until you understand what's going on at the low level.  I'd
recommend reading this:

  http://lwn.net/Articles/145194/

Then do:

  mkdir test
  cd test
  git init
  touch README
  git add README
  git commit -m "Add README"
  cd .git
  cat HEAD
  cat refs/heads/master
  find -name objects

(Note that the object files themselves are zlib-compressed so you
can't read them directly.  See:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=509942 for more
information)
