I too have been teaching Git for many years now.

I find it easy to teach, thanks the concepts being simple and clear. I don't have to transfer a lot of information before people can start reasoning about things themselves and independently finding out more.

I always try to make sure people understand two things:

1) The history tree (==how to read the metro-map that is gitk)

2) Distribution, that you are responsible for syncing with others, not the other way round

Almost everything else I prefer the students at least try to figure out themselves.
