See now this is interesting. Cause I feeling inclined toward Git for
these same reasons. In fact here's a diagram of me being torn:


                  I, Torn

                     O
   SVN     <--     --|--     -->    Git
                    / \
  Solid            Darcs           Faster
  Popular                          Stronger
  Supported                        Better


Not that Darcs hasn't been good to me.
