My experience has been quite the opposite. git merges much better
than svn does and because it's so easy to merge, it gets done much
more frequently, heading off a lot of conflicts. In our case, we
still have a single authoritative copy that everyone pushes to. This
is a much nicer environment that svnmerge.py. NB: I have not tried
svn 1.5's new merge facilities as I had jumped ship by then.

Nay. I'd be quite interested in it, though. Even though I have SVN
commit privs on two projects, git could be nice for local hacking at
the very least.
