I'm sort-off back... but still catching up on some reading.

As the link above points out it has become a bit easier to do merging in
svn 'recently'.
A while back when I was experimenting with git I noticed that svn now
stores a property to keep track of which trunk changes have already been
merged into your branch. After bringing your branch into sync, which is
not limited to a single time, merging into trunk should be straightforward.

My point being: The tools are more important then the architecture.

Sure git has some very nice advantages, mainly being less reliant on the
'slow' sf.net svn server.
But many users have svn experience and speaking for myself limited git
experience.

Either way is fine by me, I don't mind reading up on git.
