Question for the hackers

I've been using Subversion since 2005 or so, and do not knowingly find it lacking in any particular way.

Should I care about Git? All I know about Git so far is that "everyone" is suddenly using it.

I've been having the same feeling. Suddenly Git is cool, and my quick look at the docs suggests that it uses a quite different underlying model than SVN/CVS/RCS, which is a Good Thing, but I'm not sure it's worth the pain and suffering of switching over, especially for clients where I'm often working with more junior people who find TortoiseSVN just the thing.

I'll be interested to hear what you find.
