I used subversion for a long time and was resistant to moving ardour.org to use git instead. 24hours after we switched (we never use 3rd party git hosting as our canonical repo), I was already convinced it was not the right choice, but an excellent choice.
It's also Subversion where you can commit your changes and write the message before pushing, instead of at the same time, so you get the chance to review it. That's enough to make it better.
