This is nice, but I'd like a 201-level handholding on git. I've been using it for 5 years and I'm still just a clone/commit/merge/(bang head)/push user yet I know there is tons more it can do that would probably make me more effective. (I'd also like to switch my team of SVN. Someday....)

This is so so fitting, and describe me to a "T" as well.

I'd add oh-crap-I-screwed-up-so-let's-clone-the-repo-and-start-over to the list.

Alternative to nuking from orbit is taking a look at "Flight rules for git": https://github.com/k88hudson/git-flight-rules
