Yes, I find those git features very appealing. To have the complete repository always available locally is also a major feature.
So for me it's not at all clear that svn is the way to go in the future. But it depends a lot on how well these tools actually behaves in everyday use, and how well they integrate with the rest of the environment (Emacs, source browser, etc). I still have too little practical experience with either one to form an opinion on that (except I recall that annotate in svn was annoyingly slow when I tried it last, but that was two years ago).
