Hmm, nope. Git's builtin documentation is actually pretty decent (reasonably complete, includes examples, etc), but it's a reference, not a tutorial -- it's designed to help somebody already familiar with the basic operation of git remember the details. There are _tons_ of tutorials for git around though, if that's what you want. -miles -- x y Z!
