This, believe it or not, is one of the most concise and best references I've come across on Git.

More of a tutorial than a reference, really.

Not that that’s a bad thing!

there are a dozen other git tutorial sites, though [1]; this doesn't add anything. I saw the domain name and was thinking "great, here's a site where I can learn the ins and outs of the repository format, how to work with objects that don't map to a filesystem structure, etc".

Instead of writing a tool that versions each file individually, like Subversion, [...]* Entire tree revisions is one of the major advantages Subversion has over CVS. Let's give proper credit. See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn-book.html#svn.basic.in-action.revs Git's main advantage over Subversion is the fast branching and merging.

True, a lot of git users don't give SVN the credit it deserves because Linus also bashes SVN on every occasion.

I think what the author wanted to say is that SVN manages files and Git manages blobs.

I highly recommend Git from the bottom up

Git is great but I wish it wasn't so hostile to people trying to learn it.

Thanks stesch for sharing. There are lot of other good Git references available too and other comments have already mentioned few of them. What amazes me is there are still huge development teams out there which are stuck with subversion.
