I was fairly anti GIT for a while, but there's simplistic workflows you can use which will be close enough to SVN that you're really just changing the commands you're using, not your entire workflow.
You can add in "git specific" workflows later as you've become familiar with the basics. That's what I did, and boy once you wrap your head around git rebase for dealing with work in progress it's a game changer. jeff
