Another great resource is the Internals chapter of Pro Git. This opened my eyes. I've always been a Mercurial fan. Learning git from the bottom up really helped me understand what all the fuss was about.

The chapter Understanding Git in Git Internals by Scott Chacon also has a good explanation of how Git works.
