In my mind, git-svn or even git-svnserve, are THE tools to introduce
Git in teams not convinced by the power of DVCS. Or perhaps someone
will create a porcelain that offers the same simple interface of
CVS/SVN and will integrate it in all the fantastic IDE ;-)

It's already there.  The git porcelain can do almost anything.  If you were so 
inclined you could write a fake svn command that translated all those calls 
to git.

svn add = git add
svn update = git pull
svn commit = git commit -a && git push

I'm fairly convinced that the reason everyone thinks git is hard is because 
they're introduced to too much of it too quickly.

git /is/ easy.  It's more powerful, so there are more knobs, but if you don't 
want to use those knobs - don't.
