When we converted Inkscape over from Subversion to Bazaar one thing that
I found handy about Bazaar was that you could keep the same work flow
that you had with Subversion.  While you can support Git style
workflows, you don't have to if you don't want to.  So we still have
some developers that aren't using the advantages of a DVCS and some that
are.  Of course, YMMV :)
