Do you recommend "git" (over svn) for a 1-person team??? (the
ability to commit whilst offline on my laptop sounds potentially
enough reason)
At this point, it is clear that you've bought into using *some* form of
revision control locally. So you are really asking whether DVCS is
appropriate for personal-only use. If all you care about is the ability
to commit locally, then you might as well use vanilla RCS (i.e., the
ultimate "plumbing" behind SVN).
How easy DVCS solutions make merging and rebasing is a secondary feature
for me. Primarily, I like that while doing my work, I don't ever have to
*think* about the revision control. I don't have to check out or lock
files. I don't have to worry about checking in all of my changes. I just
work, and, when I'm ready, the DVCS takes care of everything else. It's
the *overall* ease of use that makes DVCS so valuable to me... (and who
knows... maybe later someone will want to clone my repo and we'll trade
commits back and forth)
[ Keep in mind that git is not the only DVCS. For some of my personal
projects, I use hg (Mercurial), and for others I use git. On none of
them do I use SVN. Unfortunately, the proliferation of SVN on
SourceForge has prevented me from contributed myriad local patches to
projects that are otherwise very important to me. Perhaps another great
reason to use DVCS locally is that you'll be putting implicit pressure
on places like SF to modernize. ]
