One benefit i can see is not immediate and obvious but having more flexible source control system may attract or make it easy to handle access to more developers, easy to revert unneeded changes, as Stephan pointed, better patch control and changsets. Yes, it will require some learning but not

Let me point out another nice feature of git: git provides server-support to behave to clients like a cvs and/or svn server. This means, one can access the git repository from cvs or svn (or git) clients. Not sure if this is an issue, but a user who does not want to learn new commands can contiune

FWIW, to let my paranoia out: I don't like SVN because it obscures and packs the whole repository into one big file, which IMHO overshadows all its benifits. I've been able in tha past to resolve the consequences of quite a few CVS bugs, due to the open structure of its repository. OTOH, if w

SF in general but CVS in particular, i remember offered to switch to SF SVN, but i could not find good enough reasons. With CVS i know that it does not handle directories, renaming, moving and i do not even try to do it, contacting SF everytime to cleanup CVS is not very convenient either. So,
