After dipping your toes in introductory material about git, I can't recommend anything written by Scott Chacon enough.
Scott works for github and seems to serve as their main git 'educator'
He's good. I attended a presentation of his recently and the slides are also very good, however I am not sure if they are openly available. [The slides are not, at present, on http://conferences.yapceurope.org/ye2010/wiki?node=UploadedSlides but should appear there when Scott is back in one place assuming he is OK with the slides being made available...]
He wrote a book called Pro Git and although it's a printed book sold by Apress, the entire book is readable online
That book is good.
Unfortunately, and it pains me to say it, the O'Reilly one is not. [But then O'Reilly no longer hold the paramount tech book crown like they did a number of years back]
Other resources http://gitref.org/ - another Scott production http://progit.org/ - Pro Git website http://git-scm.com/ http://www.gitready.com/
Some of these were culled from http://help.github.com/
