Regular vs. One off (Score:1)
Putting aside the other technical superiorities, the entry barrier that Git removes is that of one off contributions.
Once you have an account it's easy to regularly contribute using SVN.
Git makes it easy to contribute to a project even if you've never contributed before, without knowing what the framework for contribution is, and without needing to be authorized.
It fills in the gap between emailing patches to someone (which is has technical annoyances but no administrative overhead) and giving commit access

(and yes, i've received many many more contributions since I've switched, even if most of them did not become collaborators afterwords)
