"Don't know anything" isn't accurate. It's not as if I don't follow the issues in question, read people's opinions, articles, commentary, and so on. It's just that I haven't used git myself, yet, aside from checkouts.
My point is merely that, if I were given the choice today to learn a version control system for my own use (like the poster), I would pick git because that seems to be where things are going. svn works well enough for me and I don't see any need to chase after the buzz, but sooner or later I too will probably get around to figuring out the ins and outs of git.
Either one is obviously a vast improvement over no version control.

No offense, but if you really don't know, it probably doesn't help to just unquestioningly repeat buzz you've heard.

Ah. I'd say checkouts counts as using it, FWIW.
(Mercurial is really good, too.)
