For me, the best resource is by far progit.org/book (it's a physical book
too, but you can read it all online).
"The Git Parable" is worth a read to get the jist, and "Git from the Bottom
Up" is worthwhile if you're interested in what's going on underneath - it
helped me understand it a bit better, but it's not to everyones tastes.  The
other standard "recommended resource" is "Git for Computer Scientists", but
I've not read that so can't comment.

That's not really true any more - TortoiseGit is just as good (if not
better) than TortoiseSVN, and for command line lovers gitbash on windows
works flawlessly and is much better than svn.exe under ol' faithful cmd.exe.

I've heard good things about GitExtensions too, which is cross-platform, but
not used it myself (I use TortoiseGit most of the time, otherwise the
git-bash).

Dave.
