As a 80%-hg/20%-git user, I'm curious what features of git you had in
mind, so I know where to look as I wander up the git learning curve.

My experience with the git user interface, for what it's worth, is
that I never quite get the conceptual model crystal clear enough in my
head. So it won't stay for long enough for me to progress up the
learning curve and retain the gains.  I move up a bit, but the gain
soon evaporates and I backslide, and then just hack my way through it.

I found hg's conceptual model very easy to learn, almost as if I don't
have to remember anything.  Maybe that simplicity comes at a price,
whence my question at the start about the extreme-power features of
git.
