In fact, the most important problem (in my case) is that there are
people that really don't want/need Git features. These people consider
that CVS/SVN are constraints and not usefull tools. They are not
interested in what a VCS can offer. I have success with CVS/SVN
because we now use Eclipse which offers an easy to use GUI for CVS/SVN
actions.
An other point is that CVS/SVN actions for our developers are
"trivial": update or commit, nothing more (even tags are made by
"power" users, so working with branches...). With Git, you have to
ALWAYS remember that you have a repo locally which is different than
the central repo. I think this point is quite confusing for people not
interested in the features offered by having a "private" repo.
This is why I think my corporate friends will brake if I try to
propose Git for everybody.
In my mind, git-svn or even git-svnserve, are THE tools to introduce
Git in teams not convinced by the power of DVCS. Or perhaps someone
will create a porcelain that offers the same simple interface of
CVS/SVN and will integrate it in all the fantastic IDE ;-)
