Question for the hackers

[prog]

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 switched to git for most personal stuff. I like that it's super-cheap to start managing something with git: just git init, git add ., git commit.

I also like that it's easy, even while "offline", to do frequent commits on small improvements, and then step back and organize the commits into logical groups for sending to some canonical source.

Inertia is nice. People keep making nice new tools for git.

Github is pretty nice, as is git.or.cz.

Oh, and the magit integration with emacs is good and has the Emacs nature.
