Distributed repositories, offline development, easier branching, and
perhaps most noticeably, speed. I have an svn checkout and a git clone of
openbabel at the moment -- svn log takes 1m51s to fetch everything from the
server and print it. git log takes 255 milliseconds ;-)
But that's for a log, which is an unfair comparison between centralized and
distributed VCSs -- there's no network I/O for git there, so it will always
be much faster. I think the most practical reason to switch is the cheap
branching. Being able to work on several new features/bug fixes from the
same checkout is a very handy feature, and one that I sorely miss when I
have to work on an svn-hosted project.
