We were using svn for a while, but micromanaging the individual files turned out to be too tedious for me to introduce to our group.
git add .
git commit -a
yes, it's two commands but in return git will automatically find new files, internally delete files you have deleted, and even automatically find renamed files (under most conditions).
I don't have a great argument about why we chose git over mercurial, it seemed like the right choice. But I can tell you that git is a lot better than svn for our purposes.
I find it somewhat funny about the complaints of git being difficult to use. Personally, our team found svn difficult to use due to having to micromanage moves adds and deletes.
edit: also, not having a bunch of .svn directories peppered all over your directory structure is nice, just one .git directory at the top. You can move directories in and out from other locations without worrying about anything.
