* Commits offline, so you can finish a (large) change with multiple
commits and push the result or work and commit when you have no
internet connection.
* Branching/Merge works a lot better, that's basically the whole point
of the switch.
* Easier to pick commits from master to a (stable) branch.
* Better logging (not changelogs needed).

Probably some more, but those are the most important for us. Of course
it requires a bit of a personal change to work with git, but a lot of
us think it will improve the workflow.
