Pro Git by Scott Chacon
4.0

The bulk of the value of this book is in the first 100-150 pages for the average Git user. It is a rather complete run through of Git commands in how they work complete with great diagrams showing what happens to your repository and file tree each time.

Not to say that the rest of the book was useless as it delved into special use cases, including on the server, and how to use advance tools. I'll come looking to this book rather than a generic Google search next time I need some help with Git.
