I've never used git, but I have used bzr. Having worked with a dvcs, the disadvantages of svn become quite clear. Svn *might* be fine for personal (one dev) projects, but for bigger projects it's just not the right option.
I can't think of any real downsides.
I found out that John Wiegley has been working on a faithful conversion of the boost svn tree to git, see [1]. Is that effort still ongoing?
Yes
Also, there has been a very interesting discussion on branching model and release process, which seems to have started with [2]. Two subthreads particularly interested me, i.e. the one starting in [3] and another one starting just before [4] (especially the dialogue between Vladimir Prus and Dave Abrahams). This might have been mentioned before, but gitflow seems to be ideal.
+1 I hope we'll be using git-flow. https://github.com/nvie/gitflow -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
