I came from SVN, and I guess the most important change for me was:
Learning to make nice, reviewable, working, one-change-per-revision
commits.
This must be enforced by social pressure of course, but 'add --patch',
'commit --amend', 'rebase --interactive' and some others make it very
easy to actually do it even when working on a series of changes.
