It's not a matter of thinking that git is like SVN at all.

It's the exact opposite in fact; they are different, to the extent that it 
entails a whole new approach.

We have a well resourced, well understood, well supported tool and mature 
practices with our current SVN.

All I am saying is that we really should stop and think as to whether we want 
to throw that out. I, personally am not convinced.

At the end of the day, it's more about WHAT we produce (maven, plugins etc) 
than the TOOLS (SVN, git, etc) we use.

For those who want to use git, fine stick with git SVN, but don't force me to 
learn a new tool; I do enough of that already. (and I've just come from a 
project where the personal preferences of a few immature devs forced the 
abandonment of good mature practices and had Hg shoved down our throats; and 
this is a $40 Billion dollar company, let's not make the same mistake here).
