Git may be more important for a startup. I'm guessing the typical startup, particularly YC types, will be using a ton of open source. Git enables you to take all the open source libraries you depend on, branch them, add the little changes you need, and merge things back from upstream (or contribute back, of course).
This is a huge win over the hacky way things are done with svn externals or svn + patches.
