FAQQ: What is Git?
A: Git is a version control system used by various developers for various projects, including FlightGear. It offers an easy way to collaborate on changes by multiple people. Or, to put it more bluntly:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=gitQ: Do I need FlightGear Git to use the A320 series?
A: No; just download a copy of the "release-legacy" branch.
Q: I can't extract the .tar.gz archives! Why aren't you using .zip?
A: Because .tar.gz offers superior compression, and is the only format used by Gitorious. I recommend PeaZip or WinZip for Windows(R) users; Mac OSX users should be able to extract .tar.gz by default (AFAIK; I don't use Macs, and don't plan on doing so).
