Oh, missed that one. One more comment and then I'll shut up...

TL;DR: With SVN, you rely more on the cloud than when using git.

With SVN, to do any operation you *must* have a server involved (eg, the cloud -- even if it's your own personal cloud!). Otherwise if you have no connection to the server, you cannot use any of the normal SVN tools -- they all require a connection to the server. svn log? need a server. svn commit? need a server. svn update? need a server. And if the server isn't available, then you have to go back to the old way of copying files around by hand until the server is available.

With git, I can do all of the normal operations without a server ever getting involved, ever. commit, push, pull, diff, whatever. No cloud required. 100% local.
