Actually there are other things:

Local commits (commit, without push) can be a huge advantage.
But the act that you need twice the commands to get your commit to the 
server can also be a turn off (Command line you can use a script / but 
with a GUI...).

Same for update.
  "svn up" is roughly equal to: stash, fetch and rebase (pull?), stash pop.
This is, if I want to update, and just be left with any merge conflicts 
in by local changes.
Sure Git offers me tons of choices here, and sometimes they are useful. 
But if I just want the equivalent of "svn up", then git is more work.
