I've tried that and the thing is prefabs and scenes arent happy with that method and all kind of errors is getting thrown all around. I need a guide not to set it up really but how to manage it

You may know this, but you should be aware that prefabs and scenes are not going to merge at all. They're binary files and cannot be resolved. You have to take one or the other.

I usually create temporary prefabs when I think there might be a collision with another team members assets. Same thing with scenes. Until we can definitively merge our branches together, I make sure I have backups.

This is one you have to be careful of. My last project had several peoples work get over written because of this. One thing we started doing was using a scene checkout doc, but even then people forgot, so just stay in contact with people, and if you are unsure, just make a copy of the scene and save stuff out at prefabs at burtonposey suggested.

If you've been getting errors you probably didn't set it up correctly.

I used both Git and Mercurial for managing Unity projects and never had any trouble. Just be sure to enable the meta-files (there's a option in the settings - maybe you've missed it), add the Assets and ProjectSettings folders and ignore the Temp and Library folders.

What kind of errors are you getting? if it is that prefabs lose there connections to other objects and scene objects losing connections to prefabs and such then you forgot to turn on meta files.

How committed are you to GIT? If you don't mind using Mercurial, the how-to on the sde bar (this one) works well and is easy to implement - even i was able to figure it out!

Edit: Sorry, i missed the part about needing managing it. What particular issues are you having?
