I don't think I follow everything in the thread, but Git seems to be very difficult to normal users. Git isn't as popular as svn. Subversion has an excellet free book available, and many other 3rd party manuals for svn. Subversion also has some GUI clients, which makes many people's lives easier.
Adapting another version control system may well be worth for all of us in the end. However, educating people to adapt the new system and introducing git for those have no experience with any version controls as their very first version control sytem might increase the burden of support and mailing list.
