Speaking of which, where will our online viewable tree will be hosted in each case? Can you provide links to some bzr and git online trees that we could test and compare? For me, committing will be simple in whatever thing we choose, as I never do branching or subtrees or anything like that, but the features and convenience of the tree interface are very important for research and tracking. SVN web interface is barely sufficient but rather limiting (no search on commit messages, no stats, etc)
This is a major plus in the DVCS arena. Anything the SVN web interface can do can likely be done with the svn command line application. But any operation that requires SVN to contact the remote repo is horribly slow. With DVCSes you have all of the info locally to search and research as you wish. I don't know specific commands for what you want to do in either system. Both systems do have some gui clients to help you with this. And none of what I have said negates the need for a pleasant web interface.
