So you completely change a way two of your clients do version control because you're a Git fanboy? I might use Git, an iMac, and Ruby... but I'd never try to change someones tech just because I prefer a different solution to the one they have in place and might have fully researched beforehand.
I agree with you deep down... I dislike SVN deeply (and I have to use it everyday), but you haven't even used it enough to be able to give an informed opinion on it. Just like Apple fanboys try to evangelize people because "Windows sucks and Macs are so much cooler and Steve Jobs says so"
BTW, the biggest irony in my opinion, is that you're using Windows, which if you added Visual Studio to it (yes I know you're a pythonista, not the point) would mean that SVN is the [sic] BESTEST solution for your source control needs. Which is also a prime example that the latest technology is not always the best, and that you should always make this decisions on a case by case basis.
Also, I'm working on a branch in SVN right now, and I merged a couple of branches to trunk last friday. This is not rocket science... A good developer adjusts to the clients needs, not the other way around.
