Quite frankly there's no more reason for "why we moved from SVN to Git" topics anymore. It's been beat to death.

Better to keep up while the team is small than to try to move even more people over later and turn into mega-corp still using CVS.

Learning something new isn't necessarily a bad thing. I question people that are unable to try to learn something new every day. It takes a few minutes of your time and you can learn something. Sure, git might take more than a few minutes… but why not TRY?

As for requesting why they switched from subversion to git… yea, as I said, you have a billion articles written out there by now about WHY. There aren't more needed. The benefits are pretty clear if you read any one of those other articles.

Of course, this more leads into "why git and not mercurial (or any other DVCS)?" Which again, has a billion other articles written up on it.
