Unfortunately, we already discussed this quite a bit before we settled on 
SVN.  Git does have several nice features, but SVN is both widely 
available/known and also fairly feature rich.  Though not as nice as some 
of the git features, SVN does have SVK, which allows some distributed 
development.  Further, the transition to SVN is already underway, though 
the cutover date has been recently moved back to June, to not destabilize 
the release:
