Actually when I learned git I never learned one command after another, rather I learned the flows and the most the scenarios mentioned in this thread mostly got covered then in either first or second flow I was trying. What learning flows enabled was, for me to experience how commands are inter-related. It basically depends how a person learns the tool. My way of learning a tool is to learn flows. I have also taken the same steps to teach some of my friends and colleagues git and all seem to understand the stuffs :). But hey, that is my opinion :) only.
