Yes! Yes! Yes! I forgot about that, the staging area/index is a fabulous
approach. It's hard to get used to, but you can't live without it when you
adapt your mind.

And another big feature is git stash. Is so, so, so convenient... Maybe
that place can be taken by MqExtension in hg, but I think is easier in
Git.

Here is a very good kinda-tutorial for Git too:

BTW, Git has a very clean design on how the repository is organized, and
understanding that, you can almost fully understand Git. I suggest reading
something about it, like:
