SVN was damn slow and working with branches was a hell.

Git sucks on so many points that there ain't be enough walls in the world to write our lamentations about it. But it's damn fast. If I have a doubt, I just create a backup branch before messing with the work at stake, and the bottleneck will be the time I take to type the command.

And I don't know if SVN had some advanced mode to do any branch in local, but in my frightening memories full of scarces, one had to synchronize everything to the central repo to do anything.
