I've used Subversion for more than a decade and Git since at least 5 years now 
and my preference is clearly in favor of Git. Git has been constantly evolving 
in the past few years whereas Subversion has only seen minor improvements (and 
all of the time adding nothing new that I really needed for my daily workflow). 
The inconsistencies in git's command line commands and options are quite 
legendary, agreed - but there isn't really any question regarding your 
repository and its commits and branches that the git command line prevents you 
from getting answered with a bit of shell-script plumbing. Compare this to 
Subversion, which offers you nothing even remotely adequate.

I know that all of this personal preference talk isn't even remotely 
interesting for this discussion as it's more centered around the benefits of a 
(much) better infrastructure, but I felt the need to say this nevertheless in 
order to provide some counterweight.


Cheers,

  Marcus
