Sorta.
If you started out from a blank slate then git's not too bad to learn; I've taught several non technical people to get to the point where they can at least read a git history and have some understanding of what's happening when.
At my current job though a lot of folks came in from CVS, SVN, and TFS and it's been a struggle for many. TFS for instance encourages committing large binaries so when they were migrated onto git, their repos were as large as 50 gigabytes because they have every binary from every release from way back when. I've found they actually need someone to explain why git does the things it does, otherwise they have a very wrong mental model of what's going on. And git's confusing terminology doesn't help at all.
Though once it clicks, it just clicks for the most part.
