Here's a crazy idea. How about a "git tutorial" builtin or "git example" 
or something that would create a repository into some useful state for 
demonstrating something.

That sounds fine! Actually, it should be very simple to turn the tutorial 
into such a script, displaying the command with an explanation, and 
executing the command. It could even call gitk from time to time, so the 
user can form a mental model of the ancestor graph.

Doesn't one of our existing t/ scripts do that?

;-) I did not forget... t1200-tutorial.sh

But it serves a different purpose: it makes sure that we did not break the 
commands in the tutorial. (I fear that the script and the tutorial have 
diverged a little bit, though).

git-tutorial should not test that, rather it should show the user what is 
possible, and encourage playing with git.
