As far as I can tell, the fact that there is just one developer indeed is a good reason to use svn, or just not to use a version control system. If the sources would be on github, or some other git host, cryptopp would become a lot more active and people could actually start adding stuff and sharing it.
So to answer your question: git would provide additional contributors, which is why you'd make something open source, no?
