I don't possess the official stance on this topic but AFAIK user-level
questions are fine on this list.  The git-users mailing list was
created -- as I understand it -- because of three reasons: 1) it's
easier to post to; 2) you don't receive all the bug reports and patch
traffic irrelevant to mere mortals; 3) you have good chances to get
even RTFM questions answered (mostly by those who just had RTFM
recently), though I'd say stackoverflow is better at this one. ;-)
