Mike and I have been using git on our own dev machines now for a week or so. I found this resource to be reasonably useful:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/everyday.html I can say that, at least from my quick usage, I'm not sure that it completely follows the "make the simple things simple" mantra. However, DVCS is vastly more attractive than CVCS to me, and from what I've seen of hg and bzr, git is, at worst, no worse than the other DVCSs at this. There is also sufficient emacs and eclipse integration to make things easy, if you like such things. Already I can say that I like the DVCS model in action, as Mike and I have committed several things to our own repos that we are not really ready to send upstream, in fact we might never do so as some of them are purely educational things. However, we can review them at leisure and forward them as appropriate. So I can already vote yes.
