 '''Advantages are many'''

 Some highlights:

 > Due to being distributed, you inherently do not have to give commit
 access to other people in order for them to use the versioning features.
 Instead, you decide when to merge what from whom.

 > Branches in Git are a core concept used everyday by every user. In
 Subversion they are more cumbersome and often used sparingly.

 I am biased, but the quotes are from a balanced comparison:

 '''Migration is straightforward'''

  * importing svn changesets can be done using
 [http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-svn.html git-svn] or
 [http://www.negativetwenty.net/redmine/projects/show/svn2git svn2git]
  * trac has [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/GitPlugin git integration]

 Major projects using git: [http://git.kernel.org The Linux Kernel],
 [https://github.com/jquery/jquery jQuery].
