It is obvious that you are a fresh subscriber, since the answer to your question is given multiple times a day. Not like in "This is why you cannot enhance SVN to behave as Git does", but more like in "This feature of Git allows you to do [...]". I can only invite you to sift through the mail archive. I _could_ point you to a really recent mail from Linus, which explains very much why SVN just cannot do -- however hard you try -- what Git can. But then, you would miss out on so many other interesting emails which you haven't read yet. So, now it is up to you to actually invest some time and learn something.
