Welcome back tom :-)
In my opinion, reading the following is a definitive requirement for anyone
working with git:
http://eagain.net/articles/git-for-computer-scientists/
Git is very flexible, but the mental model one requires to maintain to use
it is much more demanding than traditional VCSes.
I also recomment the Git Community Book for new-comers:
http://book.git-scm.com/
Git has evolved historically from a low-level plumbing tool for real cowboy
developers to what it currently is; which is something with a very clunky
user interface where making a mistake is extremely easy, and reverting or
understanding what happened can be non trivial. Also, a lot of the git
tutorials available were written a long time ago and expose too much
low-level detail (imho) that will only embarass you. The Git Community Book
is really refreshing because it really deals with the most relevant things
for typical developers without dumbing down things.
Happy hacking.

Hi,
I am looking at getting back into the FreeType project after a five or so
year hiatus. I see
things have moved from cvs to git (skipped svn?) Does anyone know of a
good tutorial
on git?
Tom
