Without wishing to turn this into a which scm is best discussion, git isn't the easiest system for non-technical users to learn - it is aimed at power users. You may end up with a situation where using the version control is harder then creating the bundle. I've not used mercurial much but I know thats meant to be simpler than git, I have used bzr which i've found dead simple and quite like subversion, and it branches happily from subversion. I'm sure theres other possibilities.
Git has been improving very rapidly though. It is vastly easier for normal (non-power-) users than it was a year ago, and I imagine it will be still better in another year. I don't know if you've tried Git recently; if not you should give it a try. If you stick to the basics, I'd say it's about as easy as SVN. But there's of course a lot of extra power there too, if you want it.
