On: Ask HN: Should we ditch Git for SVN?

[Maascamp]

If you want the benefits of distributed version control with a very simple user interface I'd highly recommend giving Mercurial a try.

A great introduction to Mercurial for people familiar with SVN can be found here http://hginit.com/. Mercurial also has Tortoise HG (http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/) if you want a GUI interface.
