For new projects I'm using git rather than subversion. I normally develop on my desktop system, but when I'm on the go I use my laptop. Subversion isn't useful for that kind of scenario if you don't have constant internet/network access. With git I can do commits, look at the history, etc. even when I'm on my laptop and offline. (you can keep copying the whole repository with svn but that pretty much defeats its purpose)

I'm pretty new to git though, and I haven't even touched the more advanced features.
