I guess the value over svn, is in the excellent tools that Git provides (such as rebase, bisect and merging). And that you can develop offline and still retain the individual commits.

And you could use Steven Grimms solution, but I guess with that, you need to be careful to not leave your servers working tree on any of your laptop/ branch if you might push to one.
