I'd even put this somewhat more bluntly. My two-step advice on
switching from svn to git is:
1) forget *everything* you know from SVN
2) learn git as usual
I don't hang out on IRC as much any more, so maybe it got better. But
90%[*] of SVN convert's problems seem to stem from some preconceived
notions they carried over from SVN.
Such as, "HEAD is the newest commit". Or the whole centralized
vs. distributed you mentioned.
