Well, my take on the problems with git are that:

1. Its Windows-support may be lacking. See:

http://use.perl.org/~Alias/journal/33825

2. It is more complex than Subversion:

<<<<<<<<<<
shlomi:~$ git-
Display all 132 possibilities? (y or n)
>>>>>>>>>>

3. The command line syntax of operating it, should be less CVS-like and less 
intuitve than Subversion's.

4. Possibly have some gotchas that are not present in Subversion. Like no 
support for keywords:

--------------

git should be a fine version control system, but Subversion may be good enough 
or better for the usecase of the OP.
