  ?you have a better chance of developing an intuition of git by
reading about its internals, so I read "*Git Internals*", but while
the book started off good at explaining the more basic internals (the
elegance of storing complete snapshots, rather than diffs; , it fell
short once it started talking about branching and  merging, and never
really tied that back to the underlying functionality.?

  "There is a new book on Peepcode that covers git pretty deeply and
in a way that is more easily digestible for the non-Linux hacker."

Specific Platform support notes

*Gnu/Linux ? your package manager has  git *because it's used by the
Linux Kernel Devs.
*Nokia N810* - it's been done,but haven't seen a non-source link
yet.http://maemo.org/community/maemo-users/git_on_nokia/
*Windows* There are apparently three options, msysgit cygwin and
TortoiseGVN/Git. Tortoise for Git was reported scrapped, but appears
to be active again.http://www.google.com/search?q=git%20windows
"for WIndows *only* environments [not using GitHub] at least the
"anointed" server should run the cygwin version. The cyginw version is
a bit of a pain to install -- not as simple as clicking a setup.exe
somewhere :)" Sitaram C,
