I was fairly anti GIT for a while, but there's simplistic workflows you
can use which will be close enough to SVN that you're really just
changing the commands you're using, not your entire workflow.

You can add in "git specific" workflows later as you've become familiar
with the basics.  That's what I did, and boy once you wrap your head
around git rebase for dealing with work in progress it's a game
changer.
