Applogies if my brevity causes offence -Stephen My goal with the "over taxed" developers is explicitly to reduce that load. I am not necessarily "over taxed" and if necessary I'm looking for ways that I can take on as much of the burden of learning and possibly doing the processes necessary and only have to push as little as possible of that burden to the developers.

A 5-second Google search will inform you as to what git is. Stephen makes a valid point, though - if you & your developers are so "overtaxed" that proper source control is too much to handle (this includes your developers not understanding Subversion beyond what you've described), then you have worse problems than the one you've asked for help with here. In the end, I think you'll find you spend more time, money & effort doing it wrong than you will in training & staffing appropriately to do it right. Or, to paraphrase a sign seen around my office: If don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it twice?
