> There is no such thing as a branch in SVN; by convention only, the root of the repository contains three directories, "tags", "branches" and "trunk". You are quite at liberty to check out the root and thus have all branches plus all tags plus trunk in a single working copy, and to commit a single commit across branches, tags and trunk at once.

Problem is, there's no such thing as a root in git. That's the whole point of a DVCS :-) The only reason Linus' tree is the root for linux is that everybody agrees that it is.

Having worked with Visual Sourcesafe, and with git, git is so much simpler because you're not stepping on other peoples' toes all the time :-)
