For ordinary day work:

  - command line (init, pull/push, commits, branch handling)
  - emacs (status, commit)
  - gitk (overview, cherrypicking, tags)

Anything beyond ordinary day work: command line (branch manipulation,
stashes, rebase, dealing with patches, import CVS repos, logs, reports,
...)

I have no experience with git-gui.

Yes, I can second this. E.g.,
