Versioning system - Subversion Vs. Git

I haven't seen anything in your posts that would indicate that GIT
would be better than SVN for your needs, with the exception of the
following:

Obviously there is no absolutely certain way to prevent someone from
overwriting another person's changes. However with GIT you would get a
more comprehensive way to compare and evaluate changes to figure out
how to solve the issue when such things happen. I prefer SVN myself,
but only more for familiarity than any other reason.

Although for my current employment I Perforce, which is actually okay.
I hated it at first, felt too much like Source Safe for my liking, but
having working on an entire project from beginning to end only using
Perforce I can say I actually kind of enjoy it. It's branching and
versioning work pretty well and I am rarely stuck on bad merge issues.

Sincerely,
