There's also http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~cduan/technical/git/ which I think 
is a great bottom-up introduction:
- not too heavy on the concepts
- shows how the concepts relates to common git commands
- short enough to be covered in just 1-2 sessions.

In fact, I'm loosely planning a presentation on Git (for $dayjob), and I'm 
probably going to base it on this introduction.


Have fun! :)
