It's never an easy call to move to a whole new revision control system/model when you have such a large code base (or in your case, large composition of code bases). When I worked on CC related stuff, it was definitely a hurtle to work with SVN and especially SF (which was constantly slow or down). VCSs should facilitate not hinder and I think DVCSs do that. Git and DVCSs in general can be slightly more challenging for developers to learn, especially after being so used to CVS or SVN. For OS X users, there's an awesome GUI called GitNub hosted at GitHub. For learning DVCSs in general, here's a collection of resources, such as guides and tech talks. Linus' tech talk is a must-see. Good luck with the migration! Excellent move Nathan.
