Versioning system - Subversion Vs. Git

[Carl Parrish]

I haven't read the entire thread yet but I kept seeing everyone loving Git.
I wanted to say check out hg and bzr as well as git. In my opinion bzr has
all the advantages you'd get in git. HG (Mecurial - has become much popular
of late). I wouldn't use subversion for any new projects today.
