Why should we move from SVN to Git?

There are at least four reasons to use Git:

- Linus Torwald recommends to do it in a famous Google Talk video

- We have decided to branch development of yacs, and experts says that merging is painful with SVN

- We want powerful developers to benefit from powerful tools to manage code at their powerful computers

- We want to embrace parallel development on a large scale, instead of discussing "who is allowed to commit?"

 

Maybe you would like to add your own reason for using Git instead of SVN or CVS?
