FWIW, I started a wiki page that tries a direct comparison between  
Darcs and Git:

   http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/GitForDarcsUsers

Some mappings are simple, some are more complicated and will require  
adopting a different workflow.  I still recommend reading a tutorial,  
but this cheat sheet should be a good start if you don't want to  
spend much time to learn Git just yet.  Where no directly  
corresponding command exists or emulating it would be too messy, I  
try to hint towards other work flows.

I encourage everyone to add useful tips and examples both from users  
who already use Git and later on, once we have gathered more  
experience.  I believe that Git has some features which can improve  
our productivity and I'd like this page to also collect tips how to  
do so.
