I believe one difference is that it'd be easy to keep as much (or
as little) of the history of changes made by developers between
checkins with GIT, while with SVN, I imagine much of that history
is lost.

For example look at the graphical view of the recent
Linux kernel commits...

  http://repo.or.cz/git-browser/by-commit.html?r=linux-2.6.git

...and you see multiple commits on most of the branches that
get merged each day.

I imagine with SVN, it's only easy to preserve a single
commit for each of these short-lived branches.
