A couple months back, I did propose moving to git on the dmd internals mailing 
list, and nobody was interested.

One thing I like a lot about svn is this:

http://www.dsource.org/projects/dmd/changeset/291

where the web view will highlight the revision's changes. Does git or mercurial 
do that? The other thing I like a lot about gif is it sends out emails for each 
checkin.

One thing I would dearly like is to be able to merge branches using meld.
