Git or SVN

    I'm looking to get into a version control system but not sure which one I should use. I know a very little about version control, but it seems that most people who use it, love it. I was wondering if I should use git, svn, or something else? The system is going to be very small, 3 people at most, but mainly for myself so I can keep track of different versions of software. I'm a php developer who usually works locally on a MAMP system and then push my site to a LAMP server (not sure if this makes any difference).

    I think it would be easier to start with SVN.

    I also think it would be easiest to use Subversion (with some graphical interface like TortoiseSVN). Git is considered more modern because it's distributed, but I'm not sure if that adds a real benefit to all projects.

    It's funny - before I started using version control systems, I didn't really see the point, and now I can't imagine doing any larger project without them.

    tortoise svn is also good and used at production level..

    GiT is used for large projects with large number off committers
