There's an FAQ section on the wiki:

  https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GitFaq

though I am not sure this is frequently asked. The Git Community Book seems pretty inactive these days. The last work on it is about 2 years old:

These days Pro Git is freely available and seems much more active:

  https://github.com/progit/progit

I know Scott is collecting random advanced topics like this for an eventual second edition. Maybe this topic would be of interest.
