A Big +1 for Git. I think one of the major plus points in Git compared to Subversion is its ability to merge branches more efficiently. Even cherry-picking comes in very handy as it uses a global commit it across branches.
Other than that, - It is less resource-hungry and faster. For instance creating a branch in Git is just executing the branch command and checking it out in the current working directory itself whereas in Subversion it ends up cloning the current working directory into a new directory. - A Git branch retains its entire history so that if you rename a file, you can still see its entire history from its origin. I think this is a beauty. - I also like Git's Web UI (repository browser) that has a very rich set of features.
