I went into barnes and noble one day and picked up the Pro Git book and sat in the cafe and read it for a few hours. After that I understood git fairly well and the things the OP said show that he hasn't put forth this minimal amount of effort. I don't think a few hours of study for a power tool is too much to ask, and I think it's reasonable to dismiss the arguments of someone who clearly hasn't put forth a sincere effort to understand it.

Also, the book is available for free online http://progit.org/book/
