I'm sure you've already seen this, but Pro Git is probably the best 
guide for git. http://progit.org/book/

Once you understand what a commit is, what a tree is, what a merge is, 
what a branch is, etc... its actually really simple (Chapter 9 in Pro 
Git). Definitely a radical departure from svn, and a good one for D.
