Which issues did you have exactly? I'm asking because my team members want to switch to Git after having to suffer through my praising git for long enough and I'd like to know which traps to avoid.

My personal switch from SVN to Git was rather painless but that's probably because I "only" used git-svn and at first used Git pretty much like I used SVN and then step by step explored the possibilities offered by Git like local branches etc. pp.

That's what I'd recommend to anyone making the switch, first try it out with git-svn, don't use every new feature at once.

DVCS is a completely different paradigm, it requires some time to wrap your head around. :)

For me the biggest problem was ending up with a lot of heads. I guess this happens when you go back to a previous commit and in-advertently starting checking in stuff - In SVN, this is prevented.

I dont exactly remember how I handled this the last time around, but I think some rebase-fu was needed
