Answer 1

I don't want to hash over pros and cons of git vs svn but here is one simple set of comparisons :- Why Git is better than X.

Some good Git Resources:

1. Git Ready. A sort of blog with little posts on beginner, intermediate and advanced uses of git.
2. Git Magic. A nice run through of what you can do.
3. GitCasts screencasts - nothing like seeing it in action to help you understand it's power. Including the useful Git On Windows screencast.

Have fun!
