I fully agree. SVN traditionally had some things that simply didn't work, often related to file renames. I remember trying to rename a file after 'svn add' but before 'svn commit', and it simply didn't work. Maybe that's fixed now, don't know. Or merging stuff when a file was renamed in one branch and changed in the other. During my several years of SVN usage I have regularly driven SVN checkouts against a wall, where I didn't manage to recover them into a usable state, not any combinations of revert, update or other commands. This has never happened to me with git.
