If you're using something hosted in SVN you're at the mercy of the repository host, since the project history lives in that one location. If they go walkabout / get hit by a bus / take their ball and go home you lose the project's history unless people have been maintaining their own mirror of the entire repository. Whereas with git (or hg, or any of the new distributed systems) every contributor has the entire history and every repository is just as good as the "master" as soon as you've pulled in any remote changes.
So that's why people like git :-)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
