I can't confirm that, though, because I never used GIT and still rarely
use SVN. But, be warned.
I laughed at this... GIT has a number of negatives, but poor speed is
not one of them especially if you're used to working with SVN and a
remote server. Maybe this is just a windows issue? GIT leaves a lot
of work to the filesystem.
My primary complaint with GIT is that if you're doing non-trivial tree
manipulation it's not at all difficult to convert your tree into Swiss
Cheese and it can be fairly difficult to fix it other than by pulling
a copy from an unscrewedup replica and cherry pick your later changes
back into it. OTOH, the sorts of tree uber-bonsai likely to result in
a shredded tree are pretty much not possible in SVN. YMMV.
