git is the choice I support here and by the way I strongly support 
scrapping subversion altogether (no git-svn). For me, the 
distributed/offline capabilities are an added bonus. What is really cool 
and powerful though in native git is the branching and merging via the 
non-linear commit history. This is a great feature indeed (and some of 
us have painful memories of svn merging) when you're working at more 
than one thing at a time. Let's go for it!

Cheers,
Kostas
