Might be an idea, although it really depends on which development model one wants to support. GIT is definitely more powerful than SVN, but it is also much more complicated.

No, Frank, the commands are different. There is a guide called "Git - SVN Crash Course" that shows you the main differences, yet GIT does much more.
For example, Git allows for true branching and merging (carrying all the tags and metadata around, not just copying like SVN does). This also means that identifiers for versions are ugly-as-hell 160 character long SHA1 hashes.
Also, some commands are quite confusing for SVN users (see GIT checkout).
EDIT - Oh, and the whole idea of distributed repositories may be daunting if one is used to SVN (which uses a centralized repo), although it allows for funny things like "pulling" (checkout and merge) code from different remote repos into a local one.
