OT: I'd love an interactive "Learn Git" webpage where you could learn to use Git with demo scenarios. Something like "Try Ruby" but for git.

You didn't look very hard then :] There is a course made by the same people who made Try Ruby, on the same site. It's named, unsurprisingly, 'Try Git':
http://www.codeschool.com/courses/try-git
They also have a second, more advanced course on the site.

#15There's also 'git reset -p' to interactively unstage changes
And git checkout -p to interactively bring over parts of another commit (or interactively revert uncommitted changes, if you're checking out HEAD).

#17Site wont load for me. I'm a big fan of "git gui". You can commit individual lines.
Here's another article discussing git add -p: http://blog.tplus1.com/index.php/2008/10/31/break-up-changes...
Nice. Too bad I'm on svn. Though I suppose you'd want to be really careful about not creating a commit that's broken, e.g. by overlooking a declaration. Can you easily check whether currently staged changes still compile and/or pass a test?

#18I don't ever use git -p directly, but I use magit (https://github.com/magit/magit) for emacs, which makes staging changes this way very easy.

yes, using the -k option of git stash allow you to 'put away' the changes which are not in the index.
The argument of creating a broken commit is natural, but not very relevant IMO: after all, with svn and co, the risk of forgetting to commit a new file is pretty strong as well. If you care very much about having non-broken commit, the only reliable solution is a gateway that merge commits only after they pass a test suite.

All you need to do is type "apt-get install git-core" or "brew install git" and you can try 95% of git out locally. Get a free bitbucket or github account and you can do most of the rest. :)
OK, perhaps you are on Windows, then i am not sure if it's that simple.
