Git is very good at handling branches. (SVN, as I understand it,
doesn't support branches directly; there are conventions that
involve making copies of the entire source tree, which SVN is able
to store efficiently.)
A common Git workflow is to develop a feature or bug fix on its
own branch, with frequent checkins, even of non-working code.
Once you've got the code working, you can merge it into the main
branch (usually called "master") and, if you like, squash multiple
commits into one to keep the history clean. You can delete the
feature branch once it's been merged -- or you can just leave it
in place in case you want to see the detailed history later.
And you don't need a network connection to use Git. You work with
a local clone of the entire repository, including all its history.
If there's a master repo, you interact with it only when you need to.
Changes you make in your own repo are not shared unless you share
them.
The biggest drawback of Git, IMHO, is that its underlying data model is
rather complex *and* that complexity is visible in the user interface.
On the other hand, you can learn a few simple commands and start using
it almost immediately. Complex workflows can be confusing, but simple
workflows (say, a linear sequence of updates with no branches) are
straightforward.
