For what it's worth, Pro Git doesn't really need recommendation, it's the first Google hit for half of my git related queries...

It's easy to mistake Pro Git as some sort of official Git reference when Googling, since it's hosted at

    http://git-scm.com/book
and looks an awful lot like the online man pages (git-scm.com/docs).

And so, without an explicit recommendation, it's easy to miss out on its well-organized narrative, or its superb ninth chapter, Git Internals, which explains the "why?" of Git and is probably one's best shot at grokking Git. (See parent's sibling comments for evidence.)
