You're mistaking, SVN is not restricted to solo work. However it's more 
suitable for solo work than git.
Git is just the current buzz about VCS. I guess some people are 
switching to it without really knowing what's going on.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_revision_control_software

I tried to search for indicators about VCS usage without finding any but 
I think that svn is still one the most used VCS. Anyway it's not about 
which one is the most popular, but which one fits your need the best. 
For the OP, that would be SVN IMO.
