Disagree with you here. I think even elementary kids should be taught git and if done right, they'd be able to pick it up quickly.
I think books/manuals/references are the wrong way to teach git though. They should be shown how git works and shown what git is. Text material should be supplementary.
There are youtube videos that walks you through setting up repos, cloning, adding to staging, committing, pulling/pushing, etc. Also, youtube videos that explain the internal structure of git and its objects.
Being shown what a repo, head, master/branches, cloning, etc are and having these ideas explained is far better than being given a sheet of paper with a list of commands/instructions to clone, push/pull, commit, etc. Which sadly is what a lot of incompetent and lazy teachers do.
