FWIW, I have been using git for several years now as my vsc of choice
and use it for all svn-backed projects (R included) via git-svn.
Some of the things I like:
- Being able to organize changes in local commits that can be revised,
reordered, rebased prior to publishing. Once I got in the habit of
working this way, I simply can't imagine going back.
- Having quick access to full repository history without network
access/delay. Features for searching change history are more powerful
(or easier for me to use) and I have found that useful as well.
- This may not be true any longer with more recent svn servers/clients,
but aside form the initial repo clone, working via git-svn was
noticeably faster than straight svn client (!) -- I think related to how
the tools organize the working copy and how many fstat calls they make.
- I find the log reviewing functionality much better suited to reviewing
changes.
