I didn't like GIT at all...SVN was easy to use and manage. I still couldn't figure out how to even get my source into git...and that is using git hub and the graphical tool. It shouldn't be that difficult. The whole point of SVN, beyond versioning, is to allow multiple people to work on the same file at the same time. You do need to have individual dev servers. Since CF and IIS/Apache come at no cost, that is no big deal. If you have to set up a VPN for remote connections, then do that, but there is no reason to not set up individual dev servers on your dev teams individual machines.

SVN is mejor que nada, but if you're in an environment where anyone other than yourself is going to be committing, Git annihilates SVN. I would strongly encourage you to look at GitHub, as it makes things so simple to get started. And, if you're on a Windows machine, they even now have a Windows client that makes getting started with Git even simpler.
