Should I use SVN or Git?

I’ve never used version control before, but I’m starting to work more collaboratively on WordPress plugins and themes and I think it would be a good idea to have a record of versions and updates.

WordPress seems to favour SVN, but Git seems to be the new, cooler alternative.

Which version control do you use currently? And which system would you choose today if you were starting out in WP theme and plugin dev?

I use Git for all my projects since it lets me work offline and that happens fairly often for me. Git can interface with SVN if you’d still like to use Git then push your plugins to WordPress.org.
