emacs has inbuilt support for git. If you are using old version of emacs (say 22.1) you might want to install 'magit' plugin. I like using magit in any version since it is way better than the generic inbuilt.

here are few key bindings generate (got by pressing C-x v C-h in a git repo dir)

Global Bindings Starting With C-x v:  
key             binding  
---             -------  

C-x v +     vc-update  
C-x v =     vc-diff  
C-x v D     vc-root-diff  
C-x v I     vc-log-incoming  
C-x v L     vc-print-root-log  
C-x v O     vc-log-outgoing  
C-x v a     vc-update-change-log  
C-x v b     vc-switch-backend  
C-x v c     vc-rollback  
C-x v d     vc-dir  
C-x v g     vc-annotate  
C-x v h     vc-insert-headers  
C-x v i     vc-register  
C-x v l     vc-print-log  
C-x v m     vc-merge  
C-x v r     vc-retrieve-tag  
C-x v s     vc-create-tag  
C-x v u     vc-revert  
C-x v v     vc-next-action  
C-x v ~     vc-revision-other-window
