SVN is part of my everyday workflow; Git requires a lot more reading and fumbling. However I know the need to be fluent with Git is becoming more and more prevalent, and for many people it's already the easiest thing. So I wouldn't argue against moving to Git. I'm just reporting my preference. BTW I committed several changes to the manual yesterday, and plan to do a fair bit more in the coming week or two. I would appreciate if someone knowledgeable could check and make sure that I haven't said things that are misleading or incorrect.
