If folk are wanting better revision control and client-side diffing etc. then SVN is a much wiser choice - not because it is better than GIT, but because it looks the same to CVS users, requires absolutely minimal re-learning (replace cvs with svn basically) and the conversion is automated and simple.
just 2 cents, I know that SVN is not perfect, but it is a few classes above CVS.
