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.

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 :-):
