As I understand the Preface (I haven't read the new book nor compared the respective TOCs), the second edition aims to give deeper treatments of these three topics: 1. HTTP as the simplest protocol for Git network transactions 2. GitHub and the overall Git community 3. Git on MS Windows

We added content about two-way bridges and migration to other VCSes, graphical clients, shell integration, and lots more. There are also new chapters on GitHub and embedded Git (Libgit2 and JGit).
