I've done a very basic tutorial for using git. If someone who knows more
about git (pretty much everyone on this list I think) could have a look
and point out any glaring errors that would be great.

You mention two layers, but the layers are about to get (pun?)
separate names: git (lower layer) and Cogito (upper layer, and
separable from the "real" git lower layer).  You should explain
the two names.

You concentrate on Cogito, which is almost certainly reasonable
for normal starting points, but that's not clear in your text.

Also: The Cogito user interface is about to undergo a
significant rename of the commands.  It won't be hard to update
your text for it, but you'll need to do so.
