Do you care to elaborate on point #2? In svn I can do "svn mv" to rename files. I don't see how this is more difficult than just "mv". Maybe the history of file renames is somehow more easy to follow in git? If I run "svn log renamedfile", I can see the history across file changes.

With git, I don't have to tell it that I renamed file. It can even figure out if I moved the file from one folder to another. And with git, I can see the complete history without worrying about the fact that the name might have changed in the past.
