I'm not sure I quite agree. Use it, yes, but if you're using Git as a black box then you're much more likely to be frustrated by it than if you understand what's going on under the hood. I tend to point people at "Git from the bottom up"[0] -- it gives people the understanding they need to work out the effect they require, from which they can work out which set of commands will get them there.

Most people will not be using advanced functions though and if people generally understand how version control works, I don't think git is super hard to pick up and learning whilst doing is most effective for me. I'm sure most people are probably aware of : http://try.github.io/ http://try.github.io/ which is a cool little resource for learning git.
