Git is complex enough to disallow understanding every detail for mere 
users. That said, one doesn't have to know every detail to be successful 
with it. Basics are 'add', 'commit', 'fetch', 'push' and 'rebase'. A bit 
more advanced are 'reset' and 'cherry-pick'. Git also has the nice habit to 
suggest commands if it needs your attention.

No 'merge'? Git can merge, of course, but that's not the best way to use 
it. Rebasing branches on top of trunk to join them is much better. Git 
calls this 'working with topic branches'. That said, opinions tend to 
differ on that matter.

The secret of discovering Git: get 'gitk' and run it with 'gitk --all'. 
This gives a nice visual representation of how all the commits fit together 
and by reloading (Shift-F5) after every git command one can learn much 
easier what these commands do.
