I would be +1 on a switch to git; having learned it, I like it quite a bit
better than svn.
That said, I have been relatively quiet on the contribution front, so you
can count me as a +0.5 if you like. :)

+1 for the switch
I have used git on other open source projects, I think git encourages
people to contribute on open source projects because you don't need to be a
committer to send pull requests.

I think the factors that go into deciding to make a switch of this nature
are as follows:
- the match between the source control system and the project environment;
e.g., do people make svn copies of the hierarchy from other projects for
various reasons
- whether the project is immediately suitable for transfer e.g. (directory
issue as mentioned before)
- the preference of the committers
- the future of the source control system chosen
I think the first two are unknown, the third point looks to be in favor of
git, and the last point is currently immaterial. Before switching I'd want
more clarity on all of these, as much as possible.
So, -1 for now (although I could be convinced with some research).

We are not debating whether or not Git is better than Svn, but rather
whether Git would work better for us. You are a committer on the project
and your opinion does count.

I too am not much familiar with Git yet, especially since I've been
using Mercurial lately.
But if others are ready to go ahead, I will try to learn it as time
permits :)

My vote probably doesn't count -- but a lot of folks have difficulty with
git. For example, since git does not manage directories, usually there are
issues in porting projects having to do with directories either hanging
around and/or not existing in git when they are expected to be present.
svn still has a huge following, also -- it's by no means a dead project.

I have been a very happy Git user for some while

No.
At least not until we see how Commons gets on with moving one of its components.
