I agree. The entire Internet would have you believe that OSS just didn't exist before the advent of git. I like git and prefer it, but SVN gets the job done. My only real gripe with SVN is it makes it harder for those without commit privileges to commit. Within a company setting, that point is moot. A lot of the other anti-SVN sentiment is based around old versions of SVN. It still doesn't branch as fast as git, but it does have merge tracking.

At the end of the day, use what works best for you. If you want to test the waters, use git-svn. You can then work locally and then dcommit your changes when they're ready to go upstream. It'll give you a pretty good approximation of what git can do for you workflow-wise.
