There is what I would miss if git is taken away from me, in no particular order: Speed, speed, speed. Operations which SVN performs over network (and not in the most efficient way) git performs locally and it's blazingly fast. Ease of branching and merging. Local branches, squash commits. Rebase. Staging area. Stash. Having entire history at my fingertips and not having single point of failure which SVN central server is. The fact that entire history in git often takes less space than single checkout of SVN is a nice bonus. Not having each and every directory of my project littered with .svn Github. There is more, of course. I was kind of Subversion fan when I first saw Linus talk on git (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8 ) and I did not like it at all. Then I did try git and saw the light :) I am still using SVN, but only because I have to. Now it looks dated (mature?), slow, clunky and fragile.
