I'm sorry you are having a tough time. I think we'll get there eventually.
As mentioned by someone else, the git instructions do not need to be
perfect (can they be?).  For me, the svn instructions are not perfect. I
end up keeping a log of commands and gymnastics needed to do a release. Our
release process is painful, no matter the VCS. Hopefully, it won't be more
painful with Git.
