For workflow, git-flow is a great tool. Having used it for a lot of personal 
projects, I can vouch for it.

I already vote +1. (I am nearly done converting my personal projects to git  
and have become very enthusiastic about its benefits.)  

Switching to git (well DVCS of any kind) from subversion will require us to  
have a discussion of workflow as there was only one way to work with  
subversion but git is more of a version control toolkit (even more than  
other DVCS tools). Workflow will be where people will feel most lost right  
after the change.
