I agree, and I also think that before people can make a choice they need 
to have played with all the options. Just picking "git" because that's 
what you heard of and what all the fan boys like is *not* the correct 
way to go. In order to make a choice, and even consider switching away 
from SVN, something that *works* just fine, you need to know the systems 
(ie, git and hg).
