I would say that the question is not about "some of you"; we must decide this, based on the majority of people who are currently submitting SVN patches. I would not like them to be dissuaded to contribute.
Well I'd not say this is is about the decision, but rather testing whether there would be interest into doing such thing. If more people would be interested in this, it could push others to learn it. On the other side if nobody except me sees advantage in such change, I'm not going to spend my time on pushing it.
For me, I don't use git and am not sure that we would need its features very often; also, for the next GSoC we can plan things differently, looking how to improve work with branches.
Well there are more things where it might be helpful (eg. making changes in more branches, what is right now basically manual work). Or just it does not have some problems (as you do most things locally, it is generally much faster and you are not doomed when server is badly reachable because it is heavy loaded).
What I really hate in last days is that just svn update of my phpmyadmin tree takes several minutes. Having fast computer and fast internet access, such operation should be fast as well.
If you want to read some more differences you can read here:

To see how to control git and how it differs from svn:

And finally if you want to spend several evenings by reading a git book :-):
