I've created a screencast on using Git to manage and deploy Rails
applications.  It's not purely about Git - goes into some Rails and
Capistrano usage, but there is a good amount of practical git workflow
- pushing, pulling, branching, etc.  It's free, too.  You can
watch/download it here:

Also, if you're in the Bay Area, we're hosting a Peepcode and Pizza party on Git - where we'll show that git peepcode episode and have some git related presentations. You're welcome to come to that to learn whatever you need, if you can.

Lastly, if you're a rubyist, I've written pretty comprehensive ruby bindings to git that might be helpful because it's a bit more object oriented approach to using git - the examples might help.

I'm also working on a new screencast on Git that's more visual (example-wise) than most of the stuff I've seen, so I'll be happy to email that to you when it's done.

Let me know if any of that is helpful.
