Wow, then I don't think CVS, svn or git make big differences to you.

CVS, svn has lock, and git has it in another manner.

Sounds like the color of a bikeshed.

I am working for a project that team members spread over the countries.
Of course, subversion does the job nicely but we are thinking of moving
to git for some reasons,

2. We can work online/offline easier (full control over local repo)
3. Simpler branching
4. It is distributed
