For me, the advantages of git are: 1. Each user's working copy contains the global history of the project. So while I'm disconnected in an airplane; I can look at history and logs, switch between branches, and do merges. 2. It makes it very easy to work on development branches and rebase off of trunk to incorporate other people's changes. Tracking of which commits have been merged in to a branch is much better in git than subversion. 3. I can easily share my development branches with others via github (or Apache if we switch). 4. Tags can be signed with pgp keys and unlike subversion, you can't commit into tags by mistake.
