Git Magic
Yes, EasyGit (eg) is still going. I've used it on a daily basis for nearly the last 6 months, and many others have told me it's helped them in getting started with git.
Just download eg and fire off eg help to get started, or look at the detailed comparison to subversion.
EasyGit basically provides beginner-oriented built-in documentation, checks for and warns about common gotchas with git, and layers things in an orderly fashion. You can switch back and forth between eg and normal git commands too; in fact, there are --translate and --debug options designed to show you what git commands eg is running behind the scenes (in addition to clearly documented differences between eg and git commands, where such differences exist).
I've been a little slow at responding at times, and haven't published some updates and commentary I've been meaning too, but eg is perfectly usable for daily work. I have too many users to abandon it...
