To Git or to SVN, that is the question

[Gregity]

I've started working on a larger project and I'm wondering which version control system I should use?

I've seen discussions on SVN (Which I've heard of) and GIT (Which I haven't heard of).

I haven't seen a discussion comparing the pros and cons of each and why I should choose one or the other.

Looking for some input before I decide.

Thanks all!
