The Python Community recently switched to a DVCS and they have documented their choice. It compares Git, Mercurial and Bzr and shows the pluses and minuses of each. In the end, they went for Mercurial.

I haven't used git yet but after reading the excellent article that Rob Lanphier posted (http://hginit.com/00.html), I think I will. That article also explains why there wouldn't have to be as many updates to SVN as is done today.
I don't think there's any doubt that git would work for Wikimedia but there would definitely be some workflow changes. That's probably the larger issue.
