   Any Git power users here?

   I'm having to pick up Git in a hurry but, as a long-time CVS user   
   (started using it in the late 80s) I'm having trouble understanding its   
   design philosophy and how to use it in non-trivial situations.   
      
   I have a copy of the "Git pocket guide" but its turned out to be a recipe   
   book: good if you want to do what it has recipes for, but of very   
   marginal use for anything else and with remarkably little to say about   
   key management. In short, itd of more use as a firelighter than a guide   
   to the care and feeding of Git.   
      
   So, can anybody recommend a decent Git book?   
      
   A fairly quick search in the depths of Amazon suggests that "Professional   
   Git" by Brent Laster, pub Wrox may fit the bill. So, any comments about   
   it would be appreciated too.
