I strongly recommend that, too; it's the one thing I read that took me
from vaguely-understanding-but-not-really to being _utterly_ confident
I knew what's going on under the covers.

The other piece of advice that I always give on the #git IRC channel
is: "run gitk --all".  "gitk" is a graphical repository viewer (it
comes with git, so you already have it; there are other, optional,
tools which are similar, like "gitx" for the Mac).  The key is that it
shows you where your commits 'went", which isn't always obvious at
first.
