You seem quite insistent to rationalize why you should not invest time in Git. While you can just keep on using SVN if you want to.

I'm not going to go into a discussion about Hg vs Git, but both offer more features and vast improvements over SVN.

While Git's underlying structure is actually pretty simple I do agree the commandline tools are more confusing than they should be, but even that is improved on with every release.

I use git every day, but I see a lot of blanket statements in here like 'git is just better' and like all blanket statements those are false. git has a different feature set, not a better feature set.

iirc you can't have an empty directory in git so if you want to be able to clone a repo it can't be empty.
