You can push and pull to and from any git repository without losing any history. You always have a local repository containing all the history and when you push the changes to a central server (it is possible to have one) you push all the commits you did locally, not just the current state the project is in. Of course, it's still a SCM, so in many ways it's similar to subversion. It has some cool extra features like the ability to "cherry pick" changes from a single commit from someone else's branch, for instance a bugfix. It's also apparantly better at resolving conflicts and keeping the repository sane, but I don't really have any personal experience on that end yet.

In other words: You create some kind of local snapshots during your daily work. Besides that it sound really similar. And another question: Does it keep your history of changes locally when you have committed to the server? Or are all of these changes synchronized with the host system?
