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 never used git, but the one thing that that entices me to someday switch is the fact that it doesn't leave .svn (or equivalent) directories all over your working copy. This behavior of Subversion is especially annoying on the Mac, where several common file types, including Xcode project files, are actually packages, i.e. directories masquerading as files. I recently had a case where I discovered that an .app that I was building was full of .svn directories, until I changed the build script to export the skeleton .app from the repository instead of using the one right there in the working copy.
