This is slightly off topic, but with all this talk of gitk, I thought
it'd be a good time to recommend QGit [1]. It's an alternative git
history viewer with a friendlier interface built on top of a certain
modern GUI toolkit that we all know and love.

I agree that there is little sense in trying to learn git without
using a graphical log viewer. It quickly and intuitively answers the
question "What did I just do?", which tends to come up a lot when
beginning with Git. (For the "What am I about to do?" question, I
would recommend git-cola [2], which is a nice GUI for "git diff" and
"git add -p", among other things.)
