I've never seen such an article and in my own personal opinion, I don't see how such an argument could be made. I'm not a fan of Git in particular, but I love the "distributed" in DVCS. I use BZR on a daily basis and have never once found anything I missed from the days all of our projects were in SVN. You can use most of the DVCS tools just like SVN if you want (checkout, update, checkin), or go all out distributed with branches, merges, pushes, pulls, etc.

I guess SVN gives you real Trac support. :-) There are Git, BZR, etc plugins for Trac, but they all feel very hacked in and incomplete to me. I love BZR because it gets you launchpad.net (and it's got some stellar Py-bindings). I know Git has github, but I don't care for it either as a real project management suite.

EDIT: (Note: My opinions are from an open source developer perspective.)

You should checkout http://www.redmine.org/. Not only does it have real git support, but I much prefer it to Trac.
