migrating to git from svn isnt because we think the pushing/pulling steps are 
simpler -- everyone knows git/dscms are more complicated in this regard and a 
noticeable hurdle for people who have only worked with centralized scms.  the 
reasons for git over svn were covered earlier in the thread.  in my mind, git 
is the hands down solution for these projects.
