Well, allow me to present some fair reasoning to you.
With regard to git versus svn: I think enough fair reasons have been given why git (or a DVCS in general) is better than svn. I'm not going to repeat those arguments here.
I have never heard a single technical argument, in all the endless mentions of Git among the people riding that bandwagon, why Git is better than SVN, or even why any DVCS is better than a centralized SCCS. I consider this whole move to Git and/or DVCS among "hip" programmers little more than a move to conform with what others are doing and feel "cool". I am perfectly willing to read well-chosen technical arguments but not from people already sold on one side or the other. But I really despair of anyone being able to present such arguments in the atmosphere created by Git fanatics and DVCS fanatics. The only thing I have gotten from all this is "I've tried it, I like it, and therefore its superior". Feel free, anyone, to point me to a purely technical discussion, article, whatnot, explaining the practical reasons why using a DVCS, or Git, is more productive and more pleasurable than using a centralized SCCS like Subversion.
