Funny.  For another project I am working on, I wrote an introduction for 
exactly this, a couple of days ago.  You might find it instructive:

Note especially the sections about "Merging/Rebasing topic 
branches" and "Advanced topic branch editing".

Note also, however, that the target audience here are all computer 
scientists who had lots of exposure to Git from this guy...
