That's the only advantage, though. I frankly don't understand the notion that SVN is easier to learn than git. Git has its tricky points (like the index), and its documentation and teaching material have only recently emerged from obscurity, but I think it's conceptually more straightforward, particularly because you can use it without having to set up a server. And you can back up your entire repository by just dragging your working directory to some backup media, so crazy experiments feel a lot less risky.
Start at github. And I learned mainly from the git screencast at Peepcode and the Randal Schwartz Google talk on git.
