Could anyone point me to a good book that actually describes the style
of code management that git was intended to support?

You may want to add the result of googling 

  "Fun with" site:gitster.livejournal.com

to the list of Git documents you read. "Fork from the oldest branch" is
one of the techniques Junio teaches often and many of his other
techiniques are built upon.
... It is a useful substitute until his book gets translated to English
for people who don't read Japanese.

Quite honestly, I don't think my blog articles are all that good;
certainly not as good as the book, as I don't draw pictures.

For this particular topic, I would instead recommend:

    http://nvie.com/archives/323 (A successful Git branching model)

What it teaches isn't anything earth-shattering (it's the same old "how to
use topic branch effectively" and I don't necessarily agree with the
choice of fork points of topic branches depicted in the article), but
people seem to like its graphics very much and it is scoring quite high in
delicio.us.
