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.

There's actually a planbeast task which I looked at and thought, "this would be easier with git." (I'd like to make the URL changes in a couple of stages, but with SVN this means breaking the dev site for an hour or so.)

Not leaving .svn turds everywhere would be awfully nice. I spend a lot of time grepping the source tree, and it's like "grep -r . | grep -v svn". (Or figuring out how to use "find", which is always just a little too painful.)
